 	  | Quote: | 	 		  The Project on Defense Alternatives has just completed a compilation of web links to full-text articles, reports, and background information on the US-Iran confrontation:
 
 
Confronting Iran: Critical perspectives on the current crisis, its origins, and implications https://www.comw.org/pda/0702iran.html
 
 
This, we hope, will be useful to those covering, analyzing, or teaching the crisis. The page provides links to 120 articles and sources in 13 categories that go well beyond daily news coverage to address broader strategic issues. It also addresses persisting failures in the "marketplace of ideas" and in media coverage.
 
 
What has been most lacking in treatments of the crisis is historical perspective and strategic context. Our "Confronting Iran" page can serve as a modest corrective. Please have look, use it, and share it.
 
 
Defense Analysis Bulletin – PDA also has recently launched a bi-monthly review of selected reports on US defense policy, which is available on our main page: https://www.comw.org/pda
 
 
Finally (and also available on our main page), are several recent memos assessing the Iraq "troop surge" and plans to increase the size of the US Army and Marine Corps.  |

				Hi! Luke
 
 
That link you referenced ....
 
https://www.comw.org/pda/0702iran.html
 
 
.... was just great. It took me 7 or 8 hours to read it all. I was familiar or had read about 40% of them already.
 
 
The article which I enjoyed most was ....
