Ambassador Dennis Ross, U.S. point man on the Middle East peace process during Bush I and the Clinton administrations, is coming to town to deliver a special morning lecture in advance of the Austin Jewish Book Fair.
Now counselor to the Washington Institute and author of Statecraft, And How to Restore America's Standing in the World, Ross will discuss "how it came to pass that, not so long after 9/11 brought the free world to our side, U.S. foreign policy is in shambles." His argument revolves around the Bush administration's inability to deploy the so-called "tools of statecraft" — diplomatic, economic, and military — which, in this globalized world, are critical to keeping the peace.
Advance tickets to the Friday morning discussion (breakfast will be served) are $18, or free for those who've made a contribution to the 2007 Austin United Jewish Community Campaign.

Ambassador Ross is eloquent in explaining the complex world of Middle Eastern policy and illustrates the crucial role it will play in America's future. As this country's point man on the peace process for 12 years in both the Bush and Clinton administrations, he will share his insights on the failed Oslo Peace Accords and what we have learned from them, on the newly appointed Palestinian Authority leadership's ability and desire to deal with Islamic extremists, and how the Israeli-Palestinian crisis relates to Iraq and the entire Middle East arena.*
