Phyllis Bennis on US Foreign Policy
Transnational Institute - 26.09.2002 11:06
The Transnational Institute and the American Book Center present:
Phyllis Bennis in the Treehouse, Voetboogstraat 11, Amsterdam
(between Heiligeweg and Spui) Thursday October 3, at 20.00 hours
'Before & After:
US Foreign Policy and the September 11th Crisis'
'Before & After' examines the role of US foreign policy in the
terrorism/anti-terrorism crisis that began - publicly - with the attack on
the World Trade Center, but which in fact has roots that began long before
that September day. It dissects not only the specific Middle East policies
long identified with public opposition in the region (for example: support
for Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, economic sanctions responsible
for widespread deaths of Iraqi civilians, and support for repressive
monarchies and dictatorships throughout the Arab world), but also provides
context to these issues and the legacy of US unilateralism.
The book traces the decisions made by the Bush administration in
the wake of the September 11 attacks, analyzes the choices
ignored, the options discarded, and the international laws violated-- and
the likely consequences.
Phyllis Bennis is both a fellow of the Transnational Institute in
Amsterdam and a the Insitute for Policy Studies in Washington
DC. Bennis is a journalist specializing in Middle East and United
Nations issues covering these areas for 25 years.
