Current international news and U.S. foreign policy provide an endless trove of topics for learning and discussion. Retired foreign service officer and MCC member Bill Davnie will identify a topic in advance, although news can always lead us in a fresh direction. This month Bill will address embassy security. Who protects embassies and diplomats? A look at how security issues have developed from the 1979 Tehran hostage crisis through the late December Baghdad Embassy attack.
This ongoing program is held on the third Wednesday of the month. Topic ideas for each monthly gathering are welcome.
