...problem of handling Fallujah quickly mushrooms into a larger political dilemma at the heart of the U.S. effort to stabilize Iraq and transfer power to a representative government. British officials have publicly stated what has become conventional wisdom among Coalition officials in Baghdad - that defeating the insurgency requires convincing the Sunni Arabs of their place in the sun under a post-Saddam order. After all, the Sunni Arab minority has always ruled Iraq, before and after the Baathists took power, and support for the insurgency among substantial elements of the community is driven in part by a sense that they...

Instead, the 37-year-old Green says he wants to make a new generation aware of this profound moral dilemma and its renewed relevance. While some directors were doing publicity junkets with the national press or mounting aggressive Oscar campaigns, Green and co-director Bill Siegel embarked on an irregular tour of college campuses this fall. They continue to take time every few weeks to travel across the country, screening their film for students and interacting with them afterward. The day of his Harvard screening, Green conducted another showing at Brandeis University, and in the days before that...
