[Peace-discuss] Teach-In on Syria, Sept. 18

Ms. Hewitt:

I'm surprised that a "public forum to discuss the current crisis in Syria and the international community's response" should include speakers representing only a narrow spectrum of neoliberal and neoconservative opinion. 

There are faculty and others on campus who could present paleoconservative and left positions; students and others should hear those views as well.

Speakers will briefly introduce key issues, including international law, the use of chemical weapons and rules of war; the use of children in debates surrounding possible military intervention; and U.S. policy considerations.  After these brief comments, the discussion will open for audience members to ask questions and add various perspectives.
