Abstract:
 
The Middle East has been a prime policy concern for the US for half a
century, and throughout this period, the US has had a major impact on
developments there.  Current crises are many and ominous.  Of particular
significance are those concerning Israel-Palestine.  Here the US role has
been, and will continue to be, decisive in shaping the course of events.
Of all the complex factors involved, this is the one that we can directly
influence.  To face the responsibilities and opportunities constructively
it is crucial to understand what US policies have been and what they are
today.  The human consequences of action, or inaction, are likely to be
very great.
  
 
This event is free and open to the public.
 
The lecture will be broadcast on MIT-Cable and Webcast from MIT to
audiences everywhere.
