Now they plead ignorance

NOW THEY PLEAD IGNORANCE: When Jeffrey Goldberg asked experts what they thought about the future of the Middle East after the Iraq war, he found them reluctant to speculate. David Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace, morosely told Goldberg, "The Middle East has no future." A military historian glumly said that there is no reason to even talk about the subject, since the West is unable to control the future of the Middle East.
During a chance meeting with Paul Bremer right after the release of the Iraq Study Group report, Goldberg told the former head of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq that from what he was hearing, the experts were divided on the recommendations of the report. Bremer responded, "Who really is an Iraq expert, anyway?" (Atlantic, January/February).
