The disintegration of Iraq, Syria’s ongoing civil war, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the promise and peril of the Arab Spring...  What role should America play in the Middle East? For some America’s restraint has been a sign of disciplined leadership.

The debaters are Aaron David Miller, Michael Doran, Bret Stephens, and Paul Pillar.
