As ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College gets its five-week spring Short Term into gear, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Democrats sponsor three events examining the war in Iraq and American military policy. The events are open to the public at no charge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Titled “A Short Term of Thought on U.S. Foreign Policy,” the series opens with filmmaker Walter Miale at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 3, in Chase Hall Lounge, 56 Campus Ave. Miale will introduce, screen and discuss short films from his recent documentary compilation, Deadly Mistakes?<\/em>, which offers historical background on the Iraq war and the U.S. war on terror.<\/p>\n

Miale will also screen a preview of his new work in progress, Why Do They Hate Us?<\/em>, a film about what must be done to avert the next terrorist attack on the United States.<\/p>\n

The event is cosponsored by the sociology department, the college Office of Student Activities and the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Student Government.<\/p>\n

At 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 9, in the Edmund S. Muskie Archives, 70 Campus Ave., filmmaker Eugene Jarecki presents his documentary Why We Fight,<\/em> followed by a lecture and question-and-answer period. The film, which Variety magazine called “a thoroughgoing and affecting film on the nature and causes of the American military-industrial complex,” won the 2005 Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.<\/p>\n

The event is cosponsored by the departments of history, sociology and political science, and the Office of Student Activities.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, May 16, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Democrats host a roundtable discussion of the Iraq war, with panelists including ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students and professors. The specific panelists, time and location have yet to be determined.<\/p>\n
