Luncheon and Lecture

"Tectonic Change: America's Role

in the New Middle Eastern Order"

General (ret.) John Abizaid

United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (2019-2021)

Commander, United States Central Command (2003-2007)

Ever since Britain's withdrawal from the Middle East in the 60's, American power has underpinned the geopolitical balances of one of our planet's most volatile regions. That American power, so essential for stability, is being recast in unanticipated ways. John Abizaid, a long time Middle Eastern observer, soldier and diplomat will provide his views on where this volatile region may be headed.
