How Can We Achieve a Secure World?

We've looked at a brief history of the Middle East. We've defined and examined terrorism through the ages. We've had a panel presenting four different perspectives on Middle East policy. The discussion questions are incorporated into the article this time. Try to decide in your group if there is one strategy that seems most likely to work.
