The United States' response to the terrible events of September 11, 2001, marked a watershed in American policy toward the Middle East region. Instead of pursuing stability, the country has practiced a strategy of destabilization in the hopes of democratization. What are the results, and what can we expect U.S. policy to be in the new administration?

I liked it even though it's outdated

Any additional comments?

I learned so much in a short period of time. I may listen to it again. It was easy to follow and understand. They do discuss how Osama Bin Laden has yet to be found... so it's a bit out of date, but it was still interesting!
