Sept. 11—A decade later: lessons for the future

What lessons have we learned since the horrific 9/11 attacks, ten years ago? With two unresolved wars and a Middle East in upheaval, how should we evaluate America’s policy in that volatile region? How will rebellions and protests across the region—from Tunisia to Syria—impact vital American interests? What lies ahead for U.S. relations with Israel—and with a likely soon-to-be nuclear Iran?

These are among the urgent policy questions to be discussed at a half-day symposium, “Sept. 11—A Decade Later: Lessons for the Future,” on September 8, in Washington, D.C., sponsored by ARC.

The event will feature three panel discussions, presenting a range of viewpoints. Confirmed participants include:

Peter Brookes, Senior Fellow for National Security Affairs, The Heritage Foundation
Efraim Karsh, Director, Middle East Forum
John David Lewis, Visiting Associate Professor, Duke University
Clare Lopez, Senior Fellow, Center for Security Policy
Aaron David Miller, Public Policy Scholar, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
Daniel Pipes, President, Middle East Forum
Michael Rubin, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute
Yaron Brook and I will also be taking part.
