To stay or to leave?  After four years of war in Iraq, that is a political question, a military question—and a moral question. In September, as the results of the “surge” in U.S. involvement become apparent, a panel of distinguished ethicists will examine the moral principles that should govern when and how the United States disengages from Iraq.  

Panelists:
Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University
Sohail Hashmi, Chair of International Relations, Mount Holyoke College
Jean Bethke Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, University of Chicago Divinity School
Gerard Powers, Director of Policy Studies, Kroc Institute
Trudi Rubin (moderator), Foreign Affairs Columnist, Philadelphia Inquirer
