Two upcoming events at the Brookings Institution that are salient to a lot of the issues we discuss on Lawfare:

Pakistan on the Edge: The Future of Pakistan and the U.S. Response

As the United States plans for its withdrawal from Afghanistan and reviews its policies toward Pakistan, President Obama must weigh the potential threats and challenges for U.S. interests in the region. Among the destabilizing factors in both countries is the ongoing presence and influence of the Taliban. Ahmed Rashid, prominent Pakistani journalist and author of the new book, Pakistan on the Brink: The Future of America, Pakistan, and Afghanistan (Viking Adult, 2012), examines these crucial issues as the president and other Western leaders grapple with how best to work with an often unreliable and unstable Pakistan.

Date and Time: Thursday, March 22, 2012, 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM

The U.S. Mission in Afghanistan

On March 26, Foreign Policy at Brookings will host General John Allen, commander of the International Security Assistance Force, for a discussion of the U.S. and NATO mission in Afghanistan. Prior to his current assignment, General Allen served as deputy commander of the U.S. Central Command from June 2008 to July 2011. Senior Fellow Peter Singer, director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at Brookings, will provide introductory remarks. Brookings Senior Fellow Michael O'Hanlon, director of research for Foreign Policy, will discuss the U.S. and allied mission with General Allen and moderate the discussion, including some questions from the audience.
Date and Time: Monday, March 26, 2012, 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM
