Front & Center with John Callaway November 1, 2007

IRAN: THE NEXT MILITARY FRONTIER?

WHAT: Front & Center with John Callaway, Chicago’s only monthly public affairs program on military affairs, focuses on the complex role of Iran in the Middle East.

WHY: The September 2007 visit of Iran's president, Dr. Ahmadinejad, to the United States has brought U.S. relations with Iran into sharp focus. What role is Iran playing in the war on terror and in the U.S. role in Iraq? Does Iran's apparent supplying of weapons and supplies to Iraqi insurgents justify calls for action against that country?

WHERE: Pritzker Military Library, 610 N. Fairbanks Court, Chicago.

WHEN: The presentation and live webcast will begin on Thursday, September 6th, at 6:00 p.m.

HOW: This program is free and open to the public. Seating for this event is limited, so reservations are strongly recommended. Call 312.587.0234 or email events@pritzkermilitarylibrary.net.

WHO: Veteran Chicago journalist John Callaway moderates discussion with a panel including Ahmad Sadri, Chair of Islamic World Studies at Lake Forest College, and Richard S. Williamson, former U.S. Representative to the U.N. Commission on Human Rights.
