Next Meeting

The next meeting of the Poway Democratic Club is Thursday, June 18, 2009, at 7:00 PM, in the Twin Peaks Middle School Little Theater (room 608), located at 14640 Tierra Bonita Rd, in Poway (map).


Program: Dealing with Iran in the Obama era
Speaker: Dr. Farouk Al-Nasser

Iran, a nation with 2500 years history, proud and educated people seeking mutual respect, proper place in the world arena and influence in the region. The Bush administration Policy toward Iran has been a dismal failure. While the Bush administration was preoccupied in the fiasco of Iraq, Iran proceeded with uranium enrichment program, influencing events in Iraq thru its allies, and support of proxies in the region unchecked. On the eve of Iranian presidential election on June 12, 2009, what should the US policy toward Iran be under the Obama administration? Is there such a thing as "Smart Sanctions" to persuade the Iranian leadership to suspend Uranium enrichment? Who are the decision makers in Iran?  

About the Speaker:
Dr. Al-Nasser was born in Iraq and attended Baghdad University. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of Denver and has lived in the US for the past 38 years. During 2003-2004, he made nine business trips to the Middle East assessing the political and geopolitical environment of the area. With many of his family still in Iraq, he offers a unique perspective of the Middle East and it's relationship with the US.
