Is The War on Terror on Track?
T0
The US had the moral sympathy of the world after the attacks of 11 September 2001. Has this been squandered? Were the attacks on Iraq and the formulation of an Axis of Evil just counterproductive diversions from the fight against terror and its roots? Can Islamist terror be fought by military means? If not, how else? Do we risk losing too much freedom and democracy in an all-out fight against a nebulous enemy? Speakers: Richard Perle, resident fellow, American Enterprise Institute and former Chairman of the Defence Policy Board; Rabinder Singh, QC, who represented CND in the case against the government over resolution 1441; Patrick Wright, former head of the Diplomatic Service and former ambassador to Syria and Saudi Arabia; other speakers to be confirmed. In the chair is Johnny Grimond, writer at large, The Economist.
