The lecture will argue that Al-Qaida and its affiliates remain active and effective, with a stronger support base and a higher intensity of attacks than before 9/11. That even though the United States is deeply mired in the Iraq insurgency, there is now a serious risk of a confrontation with Iran. Far from winning the 'war on terror', the second George W. Bush administration is maintaining policies that are not curbing paramilitary movements but are actually increasing violent anti-Americanism. To avert endless war, Professor Rogers concludes that vigorous independent assessments of alternative policies backed up by diplomatic pressure may ultimately have a positive impact. The lecture will take place in the Crawford House Lecture Hall on Wednesday May 25th 2005 at 3.30pm. This is a public lecture and you are all most welcome to attend Any enquiries to Stuart Shields [log in to unmask] -- Whatever you Wanadoo: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm
