This book examines how Fulbright scholars from Iraq and Afghanistan view the 'war on terror' and the U.S. role in a post-war world. This is the first book to examine how Fulbright scholars - individuals almost certain to be key figures in their own countries - from Iraq and Afghanistan view the U.S. interventions in their countries, the war on terror, the status of Islam, and other pressing issues of our day. As the author explains, understanding the mindset of Afghanis and Iraqis willing to live and study in the occupying power is crucial to the conduct of America's 'war on terror' and America's role in the post-President Bush world. In this work, the author looks in-depth at a large representative sample of the Iraqi and Afghani Fulbright scholars in the United States, providing information about their former lives in their home countries, their opposition to dictatorial (Taliban and Saddam's) rule, their accounts of how they came to America, their opinions about America (both positive and negative), their views of jihadism and of the proper place for Islam in the political processes of their respective countries, and their expectations about what might await them when they return to their own countries. As such, it will be an invaluable resource as the West continues to rebuild Afghanistan and Iraq.
