DESCRIPTION:As the US weighs a change of approach toward the Iranian government after 
 thirty years of confrontation, Middle East expert John Limbert joins the 
 Council to share his assessment of how to engage Iran. Drawing on four case 
 studies highlighting past successes and failures, Limbert challenges both 
 Americans and Iranians to end decades of mutually hostile mythmaking and 
 create a platform for cultural and historical understanding. He argues that 
 Iran will not change its behavior immediately and stop all of its misdeeds 
 in the areas of Middle East peace, human rights and nuclear development. 
 Yet by entering into serious negotiations, the US may discover areas of 
 common interest that lurk behind walls of hostility and distrust. Limbert 
 has served in numerous foreign service positions and holds the State 
 Department's highest award—the Distinguished Service Award—and the 
 Award for Valor, which he received after fourteen months as a hostage 
 during the Iran hostage crisis. \n\nMembers: Free; Nonmembers: $15;
