Iran: Clear Problem, Unclear Solution

November 15, 2006 | America's Future Foundation

On Wednesday, November 15th, America's Future Foundation will host the roundtable discussion "Iran: Clear Problem, Unclear Solution." Unlike previous world crises that have come as a curprise, the Iranian nuclear crisis is visible far in advance, which gives us the luxury of debating our response in advance. We have a strong understanding of what we don't want: a nuclear-armed Iran foursquare against American interests. But are we ultimately alone in that judgment? There are costs to incur in defending our interests. What are they? What are we prepared to bear? And what responsibilities do we have now to offset an even deeper crisis later?

Joining us to discuss these issues are Nick Gvosdev, editor of The National Interest, Ken Timmerman, author of "Countdown to Crisis: the Coming Nuclear Showdown in Iran," Justin Logan of the Cato Institute, and Omeed Jafari of the American Enterprise Institute. James G. Poulos will moderate.

The event will take place at the Fund for American Studies, 1706 New Hampshire Avenue, NW, near Dupont Circle. Drinks at 6:30; Roundtable begins at 7:00. Roundtables are free for members, $5 for non-members. So join today! Please RSVP to Kathleen O'Hearn at kathleen@americasfuture.org.
