The rule of thumb for academia is hot topics are taught and cold topics are not. Iraq wasn't that big a deal when I took geopolitics 515 (its been a while), we hit more on the Cold War, European politics, and stuff like that. If you took the same class today, I bet that Iraq's political history would be a main topic.
