- Do you think the current level of American engagement in the world is too much, too little, or about right? Why?
- Consider the region of the world or issue area you know best. What defense or foreign policy problems do you foresee in that field in the next 3 to 5 years? What role do you envision for U.S. policy in addressing those problems?
