The debate examines whether current US foreign policy is endangering our Republic with perpetual, world-wide warfare for the sake of nation-building—or whether the conflicts in which we are embroiled are necessary to protect American citizens from Islamic extremism in a post-9/11 world. Featuring Bruce Fein, former Reagan administration associate deputy attorney general, and Jeff Kuhner, talk-radio host on AM 570 and a columnist and media commentator at The Washington Times, the debate was moderated by The American Conservative editor Daniel McCarthy.
