Policy Failure in the Middle East Cato Institute - Cato Institute Sandstorm: Policy Failure in the Middle East featuring Leon Hadar with James Pinkerton and Geoffrey Kemp.Leon Hadar talks about his book, "Sandstorm," at the Cato Institute in Washington, DC. In the book, Mr. Hadar argues that the U.S. should pursue "constructive disengagement" from the Middle East, where the costs of our involvement over the decades have outweighed the benefits. He says that Europe, Japan, and South Korea should pick-up the costs and responsibility of policing the region, since they are far more dependent on Middle East oil than the United States. James Pinkerton (Newsday, Fox News) and Geoffrey Kemp (Nixon Center) provide commentary. During the Q&A portion of the event, the panelists talk about the current conflict between Israel and Lebanon.
