AMERICA IN THE WORLD: America & The Middle East

The Center for American Progress and The Century Foundation hosted the "America in the World" conference to explore how the United States can restore its leadership for a more peaceful, prosperous, and secure world. The conference brought together leading thinkers from government, academia, the military, and the non-governmental sector to discuss the peace and security issues that will shape the public agenda over the coming years. Keynote speakers included former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR), and former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. Panel discussions focused on four topics: energy and the environment, the Middle East, America's defense posture, and the global economy. www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/06/america_conference.html
