How should the United States and other world leaders respond? Should the U.S. Congress grant President Obama “limited” authority to launch a military strike on Syria? Would a limited
military intervention be effective or would it cause more problems than it solves? What would military intervention look like? Cruise missiles? Drones? What are the targets and what is the goal if not regime change? Would it deter Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from more attacks on civilians – or provoke him to launch more attacks? Would it trigger regional havoc in the Middle East possibly involving Iran, Israel, Lebanon and others? What are the repercussions if the U.S. does not strike? How might diplomacy and negotiation work to bring peace to the region?<br> <br> Our panel of experts will address these questions in a FREE Town Hall Meeting.<br> <br> <b>Location:</b> SF Club Office<br> <b>Time:</b> 5:30 p.m. check-in, <b>6 p.m. program</b><br> <b>Price:</b> <b>FREE</b><br> <b>Also know:</b> Photo by AslanMedia/Flickr.
