An expanded edition of our groundbreaking Middle East news program. Hosted by veteran Middle East correspondent Sandy Tolan, this Mosaic Special examines the aftershocks rocking the Middle East in the wake of the US-Iraq war.

What will be the repercussions from this seismic event? As the victor, how will the United States reshape the Middle East? Will Americans be greeted as liberators or conquerors? We examine this not through the opinions of the U.S. media or beltway pundits, but through the lens of 15 Middle Eastern television networks—from Iran to Abu Dhabi, Syria to Egypt.

Aftershock Iraq shows scenes from the war never shown on any other U.S. network and provides context and analysis from the viewpoint of the 280 million people most affected by the war’s aftershocks.
