Upcoming Stories

Its going to be a rather exiting couple of weeks here in DC and I'm going to have quite a bit of writing to do.

In case someone in DC hasn't heard, we're having a big summit on Nuclear Weapons reduction and nonproliferation. Delegations from over 40 countries will be present. 

American University is currently hosting an exhibit on Post Civil War Lebanese art. I'll be posting pictures when I get a chance to see it.

The Carnegie Endowment will be hosting an event on Armenian-Turkish rapprochement on Friday.

"Armenia and Turkey: Bridging the Gap
Date: Friday, April 9, 2010
Time: 12:15 to 2:00 p.m.
Location: Carnegie Endowment for International
Speakers: Henri Barkey, Tom de Waal, David L. Phillips, Amb. James F. Collins"


Apparently Carnegie does these things by invitation? AU's PCR list serve got an invitation so I'm going!

On Monday Dr. Abdul Aziz Said is speaking on the continuing mismatch in American and Muslim perceptions on global issues and conflict. I look forward to hearing him speak, as I've had too few opportunities to do so. 


Moreover the Afghan-Karzai-election row continues to get even more heated, and I daresay quite personal.
