Description
One of the world’s most strategically important regions, the Middle East has long bedeviled American strategists. Now, more than twenty years after the attacks of September 11, the question of how to engage in the region is as salient as ever, giving rise to dueling demands for strategic retrenchment or a redoubling of efforts. Please join us for a breakfast debate that dives into the past, present, and future of American engagement in the Middle East.
