The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is facing a host of new challenges. In Afghanistan, NATO�s forces are being relentlessly attacked by the Taliban, and popular support for maintaining troops there is fading. The proposed deployment of antiballistic missiles, a potential flashpoint in Kosovo, and the growing tension between Russia and some of its neighbors all have the potential to divide members of the alliance. Meanwhile, NATO�s inability to deter a cyber attack that virtually paralyzed NATO member Estonia�s access to the Internet raises questions about the alliance�s ability to protect its newest members.

The panelists will discuss these and other challenges confronting NATO, offering their thoughts on the future of the alliance, and recommendations for U.S. policymakers.
