A large swath of the U.S. population considers the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to be "wrong", "immoral", or "ineffective". Noah Feldman, law professor at Harvard University and one of the most acclaimed intellectual lights of his generation, argues that these wars have an additional distinction: They represent a reversal of longstanding U.S. policy in the Middle East.
In this 2008 lecture, delivered at New York’s respected 92nd Street Y, Feldman seeks to contextualize the Middle East and analyze U.S. policies toward it. Whether you are a hawk or a dove, Feldman’s presentation will surely provoke a honing of your original idea. Feldman delivers his lecture in a serious and studious but friendly manner.
