DESCRIPTION:Who: Lawrence Freedman, Professor of War Studies, King’s College, 
 London\nEvent: In recent decades the Middle East has proved to be one of 
 the most troubling as well as important parts of the world. The war in 
 Iraq, the standoff with Iran, the regular failures of the 
 Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and the continuing danger posed by al 
 Qaeda all testify to the complexity of the region’s problems. In his new 
 book, A Choice of Enemies: America Confronts the Middle East, Lawrence 
 Freedman argues that three pivotal events in 1979 helped establish the 
 foundations for U.S. involvement in the Middle East that would last for 
 thirty years without offering any straightforward or bloodless exit 
 options. Sir Lawrence joins the Council to make the case that these three 
 strategic choices and subsequent crises led the United States into the 
 predicament that it finds itself in today.\nAdmission Costs: Council
