‘The war in Iraq is not coming to an end anytime soon, no matter what any politician says, an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions told a Madison audience Tuesday night.
Both the Democratic and Republican candidates for president are lying when they talk about the war, said Reza Aslan during a Distinguished Lecture Series conversation he shared with the Madison-born Gideon Yago, a writer and former correspondent for MTV News. The two men addressed an audience of about 350 in the Union Theater.
“This war is not coming to an end, no matter who the next president is,” said Aslan.
