Introduction My name is Joel Wing. I have been reading, writing, and researching Iraq since 2002. In 2008 I started my blog in an attempt to document the history, politics, economics, and society of Iraq through original articles and interviews. Musings On Iraq is currently listed on the New York Times, McClatchy Newspapers, CSPAN, and others. I have been mentioned in Fareed Zakaria's GPS on CNN, the Christian Science Monitor, Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish, Tom Rick's Best Defense, Columbia Journalism Review, Mother Jones, PBS' Frontline, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Guardian, Iraq Business News, Radio Free Iraq, amongst others. My work has also been published by the Jamestown Foundation, and AK News and Al-Mada papers from Iraq. I was also cited and mentioned in Toby Dodge's book Iraq: From War To A New Authoritarianism. I wrote a chapter for the book Volatile Landscape: Iraq And Its Insurgent Movements. If you wish to contact me personally my email is: motown67@aol.com
