"Last Wednesday, there was a day-long conference on Nuclear Deterrence with a series of panel discussions composed of several major “movers and shakers” in government and the defense industry. A few days ago, Scott Ritter, a former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq and a vocal opponent of the war, spoke at an afternoon lecture chaired by Tony Blair’s former minister of Foreign Affairs.       I’m still amazed by the fact that I’ve had the opportunity to immerse myself in so much. When it comes to international relations and foreign affairs, I’m really in the center of the action."
