The 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and the more recent violence in Syria have combined for a volatile situation with no way of knowing the outcome. With peace negotiations stopping almost as quickly as they started, the possibility of a settlement that would ease the suffering seems remote but is still certainly visible.
We will explore the Middle East in terms of its players, possible solutions and the U.S. role. Our guest speaker will be Eric See, Outreach Director of Peace Action West. Eric will focus on the tangled web that is the Syrian civil war(s), as well as the muddled situation in Iraq. He will offer thoughts as well as foster discussion on how our country should act in all of this.
