Dear Colleague, 

                                

We are pleased to invite you to attend a conference entitled "The United
States and the Middle East: What Comes Next After Iraq". The conference will
be held at the Cabot Intercultural Center at Tufts University, 160 Packard
Avenue, Medford, MA on Thursday, March 27 (starting at 3:00 pm) and all day
on Friday, March 28, 2008. The purpose of this conference is to identify
issues that will be of concern to Americans in 2008, specifically how the
U.S.-Iraqi relationship will change and what the impact of domestic and
foreign policy situations in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Palestine, and
Egypt will be on the relationship between the United States and the Middle
East. We are very pleased that both the Honorable Lee H. Hamilton, Vice
Chair of the 9/11Commission, Director of the Woodrow Wilson International
Center for Scholars, and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives,
and General Anthony M. Zinni, former Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Central
Command and U.S. special envoy to Israel and the Palestinian Authority, will
participate in the conference.

 

The conference is an important component of our efforts to advance students'
understanding of political, historical, social, demographic, and economic
issues of the Middle East through exposure to the views of distinguished
world leaders, academics, and policy makers. We wish to present our students
with a broad range of cultural perspectives and political opinions, and we
are sure that such a forum will guarantee a panoply of diverse and
stimulating viewpoints.
