photo

For the first time since the Vietnam War, Americans are looking at foreign policy as a top issue that will decide their vote. How President George Bush and Senator John Kerry shape their foreign policy positions on the U.N., Iraq, and the war on terror may win or lose them the election.

Hear former National Security Adviser under President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Caspar Weinberger, former Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan, debate the two candidates’ views of American foreign policy.

Guests:

Zbigniew Brzezinski, former US National Security Advisor under Carter (1977 to 1981), and author of “The Choice: Global Domination or Global Leadership”

Caspar Weinberger, former Secretary of Defense under President Reagan (1981 to 1987). His recent Op-Ed in The Wall Street Journal was “Kofi Votes Kerry”

John Parker, Washington Bureau Chief, The Economist.
