Announcements

I get a lot of e-mail from people asking me to post information about upcoming events and other items. I’ll try to make “Announcements” a biweekly feature.

Confronting Iraq is a new documentary from Accuaracy in Media and produced by Roger Aronoff (who published one of my columns). From the documentary’s site:

Did the U.S. really act unilaterally, motivated by greed and politics, in an unnecessary war? Or is it a just and necessary war — part of a larger war — against the unrelenting forces of radical Islam? Was Saddam Hussein’s regime bent on developing and proliferating Weapons of Mass Destruction? Or had he destroyed them all after the first Gulf War? Did the Iraqi government have ongoing relations with Osama bin Laden’s terrorist organization, al Qaeda, among others, or is this a pretext dreamed up in Crawford Texas to justify going to war? The West is engaged, whether it likes it or not, in a clash of civilizations, in a war it never sought. It is unlike any war in our history.

If you’ve sent an announcement prior to October, it’s probably buried in my inbox. Re-send.

I reserve the right not to post an announcement for any reason.

Addendum: Bijan: “At 7 p.m. tonight I’ll be taking part in a four-person panel discussion at George Washington University’s Hillel Association about the impact of the life of baseball trailblazer Jackie Robinson. It begins at 7 p.m., and is free — the address is 2300 H St., N.W.,Washington, D.C.”
