Notwithstanding a lukewarm report card from Chief Inspector Hans Blix and International Atomic Energy Agency director Mohamed al Baradei, members of the United Nations remain unpersuaded of the need for military action against Iraq. President Bush promised his secretary of state will make the case to the UN on February 5, but made no further gestures toward the international community. As Secretary Powell prepares to play Adlai Stevenson in the twenty-first century, the U.S. and Great Britain march ever closer to war. What is the nature of the evidence and will it be good enough? Will a war on Iraq deal a deathblow to the post-World War II European-American alliance? How will a coalition of the willing be forged and how will it defeat Saddam? And what will Iraq’s neighbors do? Please join AEI for a preview of the American case and the days and weeks ahead. AEI scholars Danielle Pletka, Thomas Donnelly, and Reuel Marc Gerecht will join the presenters to moderate and answer questions.
