Directions to AEI

Five years after the events of September 11, 2001, the United States must engage in the most important debate of our time that goes well beyond such awful possibilities as another set of 9/11-style airliner attacks. It rivals both Winston Churchill's argument in the 1930s about the nature of Hitler and the Nazis, and Harry Truman's argument in the 1940s about the emerging Soviet empire. It is a debate about whether we are in danger of losing one or more U.S. cities, whether the world faces the possibility of a second Holocaust should Iran use nuclear or biological weapons against Israel, and whether a nuclear Iran would dominate the Persian Gulf and the world's energy supplies.

Is it possible that North Korea will sell nuclear weapons to Iran?  Is it feasible that Iran will give acquired nuclear weapons to terrorist groups? Are we in a state of extraordinary danger and part of an emerging third world war? Will the United States decide that an America that emphasizes weakness, appeasement, and surrender would be safer and much less bothered?

Newt Gingrich will address the above questions in a speech delivered at AEI on the fifth anniversary of the national tragedy we experienced on September 11, 2001.

All registrants must have valid business credentials and bring government-issued photo identification.
