SUMMARY:Why the U.S. Always Gets It Wrong On the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:A luncheon discussion with \nDavid Hearst\nForeign Policy Writer and Editor\n\nThe National Interest Foundation is pleased to invite you to attend our luncheon discussion where David Hearst tackles the topic of U.S. foreign policy and the Middle East.\nOur estrangement from the Middle East derives from trends that are much deeper than the manifest deficiencies of executive and congressional leadership in Washington. The U.S and our partners in the Middle East have developed contradictory interests and priorities. Where shared values existed at all\, they have increasingly diverged. There have been massive changes in geoeconomics\, energy markets\, power balances\, demographics\, religious ideologies and attitudes toward America. Many of these changes were catalyzed by historic and recent U.S policy errors.\nJoin us as we evaluate these faulty methods and discuss new strategy ideas in approaching the Middle East.\n\nAbout our Speaker: \nDavid Hearst is the Editor in Chief of the Middle East Eye. He left The Guardian as its chief foreign leader writer. In a career spanning 29 years\, he covered the Brighton bomb\, the miner’s strike\, the loyalist backlash in the wake of the Anglo-Irish Agreement in Northern Ireland\, the first conflicts in the breakup of the former Yugoslavia in Slovenia and Croatia\, the end of the Soviet Union \, Chechnya\, and the bushfire wars that accompanied it. He charted Boris Yeltsin’s moral and physical decline and the conditions which created the rise of Putin. After Ireland\, he was appointed Europe correspondent for Guardian Europe\, then joined the Moscow bureau in 1992\, before becoming bureau chief in 1994. He left Russia in 1997 to join the foreign desk\, became European editor and then Associate Foreign Editor. He joined The Guardian from The Scotsman\, where he worked as an education correspondent. @davidahearst
