Listeners respond: drawdown in Iraq, talking about race

The World

Takeaway listeners have been weighing in on a bunch of conversations. We listen to what you think we’ve learned from seven years in Iraq. We also expand our conversation on race, which is an ongoing part of the show. David Wall Rice writes a blog post, “Living Race: Reflections on Shirley Sherrod, a Supreme Court Nomination, and LeBron James.” And readers had a lot to say in response.
