How do we get there? What can we do? Journalists Dahr Jamail, Mark Manning, and Aaron Glantz along with activist Muna Coobtee present their views on Iraq. Aaron Glantz entered Iraq during the early days of the war as the population's temperament was changing from from one of gratitude to Americans for ousting the dictator who had oppressed them to one of tension and resentment over broken promises, disrespect, continuing destruction and unprovoked violence toward Iraqi civilians. As an independent journalist, Glantz went beyond the safety of the heavily protected Green Zone to get at the truth of life in Iraq under the American occupation. In his book, "How American Lost Iraq," we are given the voices of Iraqis themselves. What they have to tell us, in Aaron Glantz's moving and courageous book, is a truth that all Americans need to hear. Visit aaronglantz.com for more information.

She is a member of the Free Palestine Alliance and serves as its representative on the Los Angeles steering committee of the International A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition. The A.N.S.W.E.R.
