Starting April 14th, Bert Sobanik, a citizen-journalist from Purple States, and Donald Kagan, a Yale Historian who specializes in ancient Greece and was one of the original signers of the Project for the New American Century's statement of principals, will offer a week of VLOGS that focus on the success of the surge and the future of the War in Iraq.

Kagan, who rarely does media appearances, will be answering a different question every day this week.  Questions will include: What are the parameters for victory in Iraq (Monday)?  Has the war in Iraq hampered Al Qaeda recruitment (Tuesday)?  What should America’s reaction be if an anti-American leader is elected in Iraq (Wednesday)?  Has the war in Iraq made America a safer place (Thursday)?  What should Americans consider when they evaluate the Presidential candidates and their Iraq-related platforms (Friday)?

This set of interviews is a first in a series of interviews with celebrities, experts, and pundits that Purple States will be airing as it gears up for the general election.
