???Join our discussion group that continues to wrestle with issues of the day. Whether it is the health care crisis, immigration, climate control, the Middle East, China, Russia, or overall US role in the world, no issue is off limits. We try to understand the complexities of the issues, and then consider what could or should be done and what probably will be done. Interesting advance readings will be provided from journals such as 'Foreign Policy', 'The Economist', and 'The Atlantic'.
