Tinderbox: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Roots of Terrorism

Will our democracy be defined by dominance? Or by the higher values we constantly espouse? This is the central question facing us in the wake of 9/11, and Stephen Zunes shows the prospects are not promising.

A plenary speaker at recent Tikkun conferences, Stephen Zunes is the author of Tinderbox: U.S. Middle East Policy and Roots of Terrorism (2002). He has been given the seal of disapproval by the right-wing organization Campus Watch for his principled views on the U.S. and the Middle East. He is a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco.
