Legacies of War and Lessons for the Future

Legacies forum -KCMO

 At the forum, an Iranian panel member shared the words of the Persian prophet Zoraster who said, “I will only fight against darkness, but I will not fight with the sword, instead by bringing a light into it." 

 

On  March 19, the Anniversary of the Iraq war, at UMKC a panel provided five insightful perspectives on the legacy of the Iraq war and lessons for the future. Several peacemaking groups such as AFSC were exploring the factors that might avoid a repetition of war with Iran.
