DESCRIPTION:Juan Cole, Author of "Informed Comment"  Iraq: How did we get into this 
 mess and where do we go from here?  Juan Cole is a Professor of Modern 
 Middle East and South Asian History at the History Department of the 
 University of Michigan. He has written extensively about modern Islamic 
 movements in Egypt, the Persian Gulf, and South Asia.  His popular weblog 
 "Informed Comment" is well-known for its knowledge and insight.  Cole has 
 been a frequent and eloquent anti-war guest on the "NewsHour with Jim 
 Lehrer" and has given numerous media and press interviews on the “War on 
 Terrorism” since September 11, 2001 as well as on the Iraq War of 2003. 
 His current research focuses on two contemporary phenomena, Shiite Islam in 
 Iraq and Iran and the “jihadi” or “sacred-war” strain of Muslim 
 radicalism, including that practiced by al-Qaeda and the Taliban among 
 other groups.  Cole commands Arabic, Persian, and Urdu and reads some 
 Turkish, has studied both Middle Eastern and South Asian Islam, and has 
 lived in a number of places in the Muslim world for extended periods of 
 time.  His most recent book is _Sacred Space and Holy War_.   $5 - $15
