I end my remarks on this panel on #Women, #Peace, and Security by @USNATO @GulfIntlForum by citing the poet Sohara Sepehri: “In place of men in politics, plant trees, as the air freshens” and liken the trees to women. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-a61x6IALlA

New Dr. @malaloosy: "Resolving #Iraq’s multifaceted and profound crises will test the new government’s willingness and ability to implement tangible change within the country and move beyond the overused rhetoric of reform."
