Monday, August 25, 5:01 p.m. Out of an abundance of caution, Sharon Forks Library is closing temporarily due to police activity in the area. Please check back for updates.
Great Decisions is America's largest discussion on world affairs. Forsyth County Public Library and the University of North Georgia (UNG) will present information and lead discussions on a range of fascinating and timely geopolitical topics selected by the Foreign Policy Association.
This week’s topic is Mideast Realignment presented by Dr. Victoria Hightower.
The United States and Middle East are at a crossroads. In spite of a reduced presence in the Middle East, the U.S. still has significant national interests there and the area is a key arena for global power politics. Can the U.S. continue to defend its interests in the Middle East and globally with a lower level of military and political involvement, or should it recommit to a leading role in the region?
