Session IV. February 2, 2006: The International and Domestic
Dimensions
Involvement in Iraq, like Vietnam, has been
justified by arguments about the effect of the
conflict in other countries. In each case other
nations also have had their own interests in the
conflict. And it is commonly argued that the
result in Iraq, as in Vietnam, will depend on the
American public’s support for the war.
Featured Speakers: Kathryn C. Lavelle Ph.D.,
Assistant Professor of Political Science, Case
Western Reserve University. John Mueller Ph.D. is
Woody Hayes Chair of National Security Studies and
Professor of Political Science at The Ohio State
University. Professor Lavelle will compare the
international contexts, and Professor Mueller will
compare the domestic political situations.
