Today Matt Ogden, for the Schiller Institute, interviewed Hussein Askary, EIR Arabic Editor, and Jason Ross, Science Adviser, on the topic, “Can Iraq Be a Center of Development Rather Than Conflict?” Iraq has been a scene of conflict for decades, and has been devastated and denied development by the 2003 U.S. invasion under George W. Bush. But where the West sees conflict, China sees opportunity. Could Iraq become a focal point for development, where East can meet West? The two experts co-edited the 2017 Schiller Institute book, “Extending the New Silk Road to Southwest Asia and Africa” The full transcript will be available tomorrow. The 57-minute interview can be viewed here: https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2020/11/12/interview-with-hussein-askary-can-iraq-be-a-center-of-development-rather-than-conflict/
