In what way do these three debates "compel Congress to address serious concerns"?

Dear Jenifer, 

Rethinking Afghanistan requires vigorous, substantive debates about the critical issues involved in this war. It requires hearing from experts who don't necessarily see eye to eye, but can debate these issues in a constructive way that raises public awareness and compels Congress to address serious concerns. Two such experts are Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor-in-chief of The Nation, who thinks we need to withdraw our military altogether, and Lawrence Korb, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, who believes we should send more troops and resources. We'll hear from both in a series of three upcoming debates on Afghanistan. 

Ms. vanden Heuvel and Mr. Korb will debate whether more troops will effectively combat terrorism and how this war will impact Pakistan, but the third topic is completely up to you. What topic would you like debated? Take part in these debates by submitting your ideas, and Ms. vanden Heuvel and Mr. Korb will pick the best one for our third debate. Should they debate the economic impact of continuing this war? Should they hash out U.S. interests in the region and whether they are best served by more troops? Remember, these debates will highlight questions Congress should address with oversight hearings. 

Submit your debate topics by Tuesday, April 14, which Congress should ultimately use to inform the public and avoid repeating the mistakes made in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then stay tuned as we bring you three riveting debates, which are long overdue. 

Yours, 

Robert Greenwald
