Dear
Friend,
For the 18th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, this webinar
offers an opportunity to analyze Round 2 of the reconstituted “war on
terror” which began following the 9/11 attacks. What started as an
invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001 has developed into a massive
network of counter-terror operations in more than 70 countries.
Trillions of dollars and innumerable lost and disrupted lives later
–
- what do we have to show it;
- where are we heading; and
- where we should be heading?
Our panelists will consider these critically important questions
and more. A question and answer period will follow the
presentations.
This event is open to all and free to watch, online at gp.org/live,
