DESCRIPTION:Brief Description of Event: In Squandered Victory, Dr. Diamond shows how 
 the American effort to establish democracy in Iraq was hampered not only by 
 insurgents and terrorists but also by a long chain of miscalculations, 
 missed opportunities, and acts of ideological blindness that helped assure 
 that the transition to independence would be neither peaceful nor entirely 
 democratic. His vivid account makes clear that Iraq and the US will spend 
 many years climbing its way out of the hole that was dug during the 
 fourteen months of the American occupation.  When: Thursday, June 30; 
 check-in: 5:30 PM, program: 6:00 PM  What: Meet the Author/Iraq.
