Reader comment on item: The Problem with Middle East Studies
Submitted by Martha Fleischer (United States), Jul 16, 2008 at 13:50
After reading the article, I wanted to write to Sadowski and Halabi in order to hear an explanation for not responding to you but then I reread your article and saw that the whole story happened in the 1990's.
Is this really pertinent to today? Why wasn't all of this thrashed out then?
Confused,
Martha Fleischer
