The CSIS Cohen-Nunn Dialogues was the basis of a column by Scripps-Howard News Service, "Improving America Abroad from Within."
In an age of terrorism when strong, trusted leadership is essential, America's global image has plunged to depths that were unthinkable even a few years ago.
So, today we present the results of an urgent investigative quest for new, super-smart weapons and ways to restore the United States' worldwide reputation. Naturally, we hit all the best sources: A former Defense Secretary, a former Senate Armed Services Chairman, a former Marine general -- and a suburban Washington D.C. dentist whose office has a brand new slide show in a picture frame.
Our first stop was George Washington University, where a prestigious think tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, gathered former Defense Secretary William Cohen, former Senate Armed Services Chairman Sam Nunn, the former commander-in-chief of the U.S. Central Command Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, Pew Research Center President Andrew Kohut and CNN chief diplomatic correspondent Christiane Amanpour. This was the first of a series of what is billed as the "Cohen-Nunn Dialogues,'' discussions on new national directions.
