Petraeus should stand trial, not on stage

(08/28/13 9:29am)

What does it mean to honor a man who made his name at the helm of our generation’s greatest human catastrophes? Is it, as Duke political scientist Peter Feaver fawns, to congratulate “one of the most celebrated military leaders of our time,” gifted with “strategic vision”?

Peter Feaver reflects on Iraq War 10 years later

The 10th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq was observed this week. In light of this, The Chronicle spoke with Peter Feaver, professor of political science and public policy, who advised former President George W. Bush on the War as a member of the National Security Council. Feaver, director of both the Triangle Institute for Security Studies and the Program in American Grand Strategy, also served on the NSC under former President Bill Clinton. He is known for his expertise in civil-military relations, weapons of mass destruction and public opinion.





Who says you can't go home

In trying to live up to my “live every week like it’s o-week” pledge, I finally introduced myself to my neighbor in my new dorm, Lindjom. Lindjom is a Cameroonian man who appears to be somewhere in his 30s, but beyond that I can’t tell you much. As soon as I asked him what book he was reading, he skipped all formalities of introduction and jumped to explain why he loves to read. Reading, he explained, is a way of entering into dialogue with another, much like having a conversation. By reading, Lindjom is able to learn from the lives of others in order to lead a wiser and more fulfilling life himself.
