We have five very strong panelists here, whom i am going to introduce you to in a moment and a really long list of potential initiatives and crises that we could talk about this morning. I am sure we will hit a number of them this morning, including the pursuit of peace in the middle east and ireland, bosnia, the twists and turns in a bosnia, nato expansion, the struggle against terrorism, and that is before we even get to haiti, rwanda, vietnam india pakistan, so on, and any one of these subjects could consume any number of panel discussions, and my hope is that we wont get into these subjects too deeply but we will drive toward an understanding of principles that evolved from them and evolved considerable trial and maybe occasional trial and error.
