academia of war and occupation

From a reader:  ""The Belfer Center project will complement a Council on Foreign Relations Task Force on North America that Petraeus is co-chairing with former World Bank president Robert Zoellick, who is also a Belfer Center senior fellow. "We count ourselves fortunate," Allison said, "to have David Petraeus making a major intellectual investment in issues so central to a Center whose mission is to advance policy-relevant knowledge about the most significant international challenges. He has an inquiring mind, strategic orientation, intellectual fearlessness, and appreciation of the academy that will make this a productive partnership." "

"Belfer Center Director Graham Allison said: "Dan Meridor brings to the Kennedy School a refreshing directness along with a lifetime of expertise and insight on issues involving Israel and the Middle East. We are delighted to engage him over a month of intensive activities here with students, fellows and faculty, at a critical time for the region."
