September 12, 2006, 6:30pm Prompt: The Donald & Paula Smith Family Foundation Present a Discussion: Responding to Anti-Americanism in the Arab World: Have We Been Effective Since 9/11? Featuring David Frum, American Enterprise Institute. Author: An End to Evil -And- The Right Man and Craig Charney, President, Charney Research Award winning Pollster of Arab Attitudes. Leon T. Hadar, Cato Institute, Author: Sandstorm: Policy Failure in the Middle East. Over the five years since 9/11, American foreign policy, security policy, and psychology have been reshaped to address Arab anger and the terrorism that can result from it. On 9/11 what most of the world saw as a horrific act of brutality, many in the Arab streets saw as a success. While currently the Iraq war overshadows all, the Administration has also aggressively sought to engage the Arab world and convince it that American is not the enemy they assume. Have these efforts been successfully? Are they hopelessly overshadowed by the Iraq War and our Israeli alliance? Does trying to understand and react to the motivation of the Jihadists amount to appeasement? Should we simply be grateful that -- despite several well publicized attempts -- there has not been a major terrorist attack on American soil in the five years since 9/11?

All non-NYU attendees must register by email to nyu@objectivistclubs.org. This event is one of a series of lectures sponsored by the Ayn Rand Institute (www.AynRand.org). Five Years After 9/11: Why We Are Losing the War. Five years after Manhattan was viciously attacked by Islamic holy warriors, the world is still held hostage to their rants and their bombs. Iraq is in turmoil, Syria is emboldened, and Iran, in pursuit of nuclear weapons, intends to wipe Israel off the map and destroy the Great Satan--America. What went wrong? This lecture will show how our failure to identify the ideology of our enemies--Islamic Totalitarianism--has made it impossible to confront them. Drawing on the lessons of America's victory over Japan, this lecture will challenge us to reject our assumptions about the nature of a "just war," and to demand the removal, by force, of Islamic Totalitarianism--State Islam--from the face of the earth. Dr. John Lewis is in the Department of History and Political Science at Ashland University, Ashland, Ohio. He holds a PhD in classics from the University of Cambridge, a BA in history from the University of Rhode Island, and an Anthem Fellowship for Objectivist Scholarship. He has taught at the University of London, and was a visiting scholar at Rice University and at Bowling Green State University. Dr. Lewis is consulting editor of The Objective Standard, and has published in numerous classical journals, and in Capitalism Magazine. He is the author of "Solon the Thinker: Political Thought in Archaic Athens," and is now completing a book, "Nothing Less Than Victory: Military Offense and the Lessons of History."
