Annapolis Friends Meeting is sponsoring this 9/11 Dialogue that will bring together 150 college and high school students (including U.S. Naval Academy Midshipmen, St. John's College, other colleges, local high schools and any Quaker College and high school students) with experts on various aspects of the "war on terror" for town-meeting discussions of U.S. policies.

Panelists will include: U.S. Senator Ben Cardin, Army Col. Matt Venhaus (who researched interviews with 2000 Al Qaida members to discover "if putting a bomb in your underwear is the answer, what the heck is the question?"), retired Army psychiatrist Elspeth Ritchie (who was in charge of Pentagon mental health in the months after 9/11), Carter Malkasian (who took his Oxford-education to volunteer as a civilian advisor to new Iraqi and Afghan civil authorities in warzones from 2003 to 2009), a U.N. diplomat who successfully used warnings to avert another Rwanda-style genocide else where in Africa, an Egyptian diplomat to discuss the present-moment implications of the "Arab spring," Muslim-American leaders and more.

PLEASE NOTE seating is limited to 150, so pre-registration is required via email on or before 9/8/11 to confirm that a space will be available for you. Send email with your name, age, school (if applicable) to 9.11.program@gmail.com. Preference will be given to students, but adult members of the public will be offered seats if space permits.

The dialogue will begin at 11:00 in the McDowell Building "Great Hall" on the St. John's College campus in Annapolis, Maryland.
