This year marks the 20th anniversary of the United States invasion of Iraq, which led to more than 100,000 individuals dead, the destabilization of the Middle East, and long-term consequences for the U.S. Join a panel of experts for a conversation about the aftermaths of these events for war and peace.
Twenty years ago the United States invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq. By the time U.S. forces left in 2011, more than 100,000 people had been killed, thousands more had fled, and fundamentalist militias ruled the streets. How does such a calamity reverberate through time? How does war live within us, even when we are at peace?

"How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" John Kerry posed this question in 1971 while testifying before Congress about Vietnam. The question keeps returning to haunt us in other theaters of war. Twenty years ago, America invaded Iraq. As this year's Notre Dame Forum reflects on the aftermaths of that war, this forum invites us into a spiritual space of remembrance and healing. How can we appropriately recognize those who struggled to act with compassion amidst conflict, those who worked toward repair amidst catastrophe? What wisdom do the Abrahamic traditions offer? Join the Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion to hear three Abrahamic voices of prayerful reflection. …

Upon its release in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front was quickly adapted into a film directed by Lewis Milestone, which won the Best Picture Oscar.
Nearly a century later, a new adaptation from Germany directed by Edward Berger arrives, complete with a parallel narrative not found in Remarque's novel. Still, the plot tracks the story familiar to many: A young German soldier enlists in World War I with idealism that cracks when confronted with the brutal realities of trench warfare.

Belonging to a set of films made with not much distance from the historical event featured, The Hurt Locker is set in 2004 and debuted in 2008 while the Iraq War carried on. That fusion of the past and present gave an immediacy to a film aiming to bring the high tension of the Iraq War to its (largely American) audience.
