Nadine, Guess what....said Middle East program is being replayed on CSPAN2 right now. The presentations at the beginning were very good but many folks probably missed them. Now everyone has another shot at it. --ken@ifyouliveincalifornia.com :o)

Excuse me, that's clearly a cop-out. Academic or not, MESA certainly considers itself a resource for mideastern studies expertise and a proper source of foreign policy knowledge for public policy bodies. Nadine, I have no idea if your rendering of their responsibilities is commensurate with their own. If I respond any further it would be to make claims for their role that might be well out of line with their own. I would want to see that before commenting further but I see the relation between academic bodies and public policy as contingent on the roles those bodies assign themselves. I'm clearly going to have to read the Kramer book, though I do expect to be more than a little angry as I read it. If I disappear from the thread for a few days, just assume I read it and am taking time to cool down before posting. (g) John
