                              Revolution is now erupting throughout the
Middle East. Long-established authoritarian governments are being
challenged by rebels demanding an end to state murder and torture, and the
protection of individual rights.

                              The U.S., France, Britain and over 20 other
nations have backed intervention in Libya, whose future remains in doubt. In
Tunisia and Egypt dictators have been deposed. And in Syria, Bahrain, Saudi
Arabia, and Yemen, peaceful protestors are being murdered in the streets by
their own governments

                              What should the role of the West be in this
crisis? Is it possible for western nations to intervene without causing even
more bloodshed or setting the stage for the seizure of power by violent
Islamic jihadists or other authoritarians?

                              This month we are honored to have as our
featured feature Ivan Eland, Senior Fellow of the Center on Peace and
Liberty at the Independent Institute. Questions Mr. Eland will be addressing
include:

                              � From a libertarian perspective, how
far should the US go in supporting the quest for democracy in Libya, Egypt,
Tunisia, Bahrain, Syria, Yemen, Jordan, and other Middle Eastern countries?

                              � Are these revolts really likely to
lead to long-term democracy in these countries? Or, as in the Bolshevik
Revolution, will the street uprising be hijacked by militant and
undemocratic forces--in this case, fundamentalist Islamists or al Qaeda?

                              � What are perceived US strategic
interests in the Middle East?

                              � What are real US strategic interests
in the Middle East?

                              � Current US policy is to hug dictators
to get oil? Is oil really a strategic commodity?

                              � Is the US quest for oil in the
Persian Gulf leading to blowback terrorism against US targets?

                              � What should the US do if Saudi Arabia
experiences a democratic street revolt?

                              � How does US support for Israel factor
into all of this?

                              � What would a libertarian foreign
policy look like in the Middle East/Persian Gulf region?

                              Please join us for this important
presentation.
