CNA/Forum du Futur: Transatlantic Dialogue on Lebanon Conference Held in Paris, France on May 15-16, 2008. Revision 1

Abstract

CNA and the French public policy NGO Forum du Futur convened a Transatlantic Dialogue on Lebanon in Paris, May 15-16, 2008. CNA was responsible for arranging for the participation of the U.S. experts while Forum du Futur recruited the French experts. CNA Vice President Rear Admiral (ret.) Michael McDevitt and Forum du Futur President Vice Admiral (ret.) Jean Betermier presided. The Transatlantic Dialogue was designed to bring together American and French academics, current and former policy makers, to exchange views on how best to support the Lebanese government following the fall 2007 election of a new president to replace Emile Lahoud. That election was repeatedly delayed as Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's March 14 Movement (a collection of groups representing the Sunni, Christian, and Druze communities) and the opposition (primarily Hizbullah and the Maronite allies of Michel Aoun) maneuvered to secure their political objectives.
