199 Lafayette Street, Third Floor

Just past Spring at Kenmare—and upstairs from La Esquina!

President Obama’s rapidly spreading drone wars, from Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Horn of Africa, have raised many dilemmas — from the law of war to a future of conflict where technology gives us the means to further blur the lines between politics and war. Please join Foreign Policy editor Susan Glasser and Peter Bergen, director of the New America Foundation’s National Security Studies Program, for a conversation with Pir Zubair Shah, a New York Times correspondent in Pakistan and Nieman fellow, and Micah Zenko, author of Between Threats and War: U.S. Discrete Military Operations in the Post-Cold War World.

Shah has written a unique memoir of covering the drone wars for a new special issue of Foreign Policy, while Zenko, an expert on the new technology of conflict, weighs in with “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Drones,” from their incredible proliferation inside America to the fact that Iran has them too.
