My friend and colleague Kyle Wingfield sat down yesterday to talk a bit about Iraq, the lessons it might teach us about foreign policy, its impact on the 2016 presidential elections and what the future may hold.

A little explanation on the process: Kyle and I agree on a topic, then each prepares a number of points that we want to make. However, neither of us knows specifically what the other is going to say. The results are then woven together into a finished product by AJC producer Elissa Eubanks.
