Foreign Affairs Discussion Group
Welcome to the Foreign Affairs Discussion Group. This is the place to post your thoughts, questions, and comments on American foreign policy issues. Although the suggested reading lists generally refer to articles in Foreign Affairs magazine, please feel free to suggest or post useful information from any other source.
Rudeness is considered Off Topic, though frank discussion is encouraged. Personal insights are welcomed, as they will allow us to know each other better. To this end, posters are requested to provide some basic information in their profiles.
