Iraqi-American Perspectives on the U.S. Military Withdrawal

Listen Wednesday, Jul. 1, 2009 at 1:06 p.m. in Politics, Society

U.S. troops formally withdrew from Iraq's cities yesterday -- a symbolic moment for Americans and Iraqis. While some people celebrated in the streets of Baghdad, many others stayed home, anxious over the implications of security changes. We'll talk with Iraqi-Americans about how the withdrawal and Iraqi politics look from thousands of miles away.
