Dr. Ibrahim Al-Marashi, a York School alumnus, is a former lecturer at NPS and MIIS and is now a Research Scholar at The University of Pennsylvania, Center for Global Communication Studies at the Annenberg School for Communication. His book on the history of the Iraqi military is due out in February.

During the forum Al-Marashi will speak about the future of Iraq and the challenges the United States faces in its attempt to withdraw military forces from Iraq. When Al-Marashi last spoke to York School students prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, he had correctly predicted many of the difficult consequences of such an invasion.
