WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE - A TOWN HALL
The current conflict in the Middle East is perpetuating a seemingly endless cycle of violence in the region. How do we bring parties involved in the conflict to the table to set aside the past and look to the future? Where should the world community go from here to help ease tensions, stop the violence and open a dialogue? Our panelists come at the issue from many sides to help explore these issues.

This program is a sequel to Inforum's "Middle East History 101" on August 15.
