Now a new national intelligence estimate indicates that Iran stop their weapons program in 2003. Should this report shape policy toward Iran? What threat does Iran still pose? To find out, Think Tank is joined by John Wolfsthal of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Michael Rubin from the American Enterprise Institute. The topic before the House, Iranian Runaround, this week on Think Tank. Robert Novak: The Prince of Darkness, Part 2 (aired 6/21/2007) In Washington journalistic circles Bob Novak is known as the Prince of Darkness and that is the title of his forthcoming memoir. He tells stories, explains his changing views and offers some harsh judgments. Bob Novak: 50 years in the political cauldron, this week on Think Tank. America, Quo Vadis? Part 2 (aired 4/19/2007) Arguments about military strategies for the conflict in Iraq fill the news but do they squeeze out a discussion about America’s broader foreign policy challenges in the regions. Do all road’s lead to the Middle East? What are the limits of diplomacy? Today’s central question is “America Quo Vadis” the latin for “wither goest thou?” Islam at the Crossroads (aired 1/27/2005) The allegiance of Muslim terrorists to a particularly virulent form of Islam has provoked fear and controversy all across the world. What are the tenets of this faith? Why has it seemingly spawned such fanaticism and hatred of Jews, Christians, Americans and the West? Is violence a perversion of Islam, as President Bush insists, or inherent in its teachings? Is Islam one faith or many? The Saudi-American Alliance, Part Two (aired 1/13/2005) America’s 70 year long relationship with Saudi Arabia has been at times both fruitful and challenging. With the world’s largest proven oil reserves and major Saudi investment in the U.S. economy, the Desert Kingdom has been a strong economic and strategic partner. But inside Saudi Arabia, the Royal Family is under attack from Islamic terrorists who are opposed to the regime’s close ties with America. In fact, 15 out of the 19 Hijackers on September 11th were Saudi terrorists. In the wake of 9/11, the American government has been increasingly frustrated by some Saudis’ support for radical Islamic ideas. With so many major issues at stake for both countries, what is the future of the U.S. - Saudi alliance?
