[Peace-discuss] Anti-war activists might wish to attend this symposium Thursday

[Karen Aram]

I suggest anti-war activists be on hand for this one, it looks to me, like a pro-war propaganda attempt:

"All are welcome to this year’s Cline Symposium keynote on November 14th. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry will help us better understand the growing militarization of US foreign policy. In nearly 400 overseas interventions, American soldiers, flyers, sailors and Marines have fought on every inhabited continent fighting a staggering array of national armies, insurgents, terrorists, and criminals. Ambassador Eikenberry will help us ask critical questions about this expenditure of blood and treasure. What has it all achieved, and to what end have we expended so many lives and resources? Have we neglected “soft power” alternatives to military action like diplomatic, legal, and economic foreign policy tools?

Prior to his service as US envoy to Afghanistan, our speaker spent more than three decades in the US Army, retiring with the rank of lieutenant general. He now directs the American Academy of Arts and Sciences study on civil wars and international responses.

The event will be open to the public on November 14th at 7:30 in the Alice Campbell Ballroom, and live-streamed on Facebook."
