And we speak with reporter Elizabeth Rubin, who tells us how life in Kabul is changing fast. Listen now to Emily Hager’s report.

In Iraq 101, we hear about the role Iraq has played in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and how the current war in Iraq has changed the dynamics of that conflict. Listen now to Meredith Firetog’s report.

And, in our series, A Day in the Life, an Iraqi journalist tells us more about the conditions in the city of Fallujah. Listen now.
