commented, "We are seeing history repeat itself."

In addition to appearing at public forums, Ritter is meeting with
legislators, journalists, and high school students to stimulate a national
dialogue about global engagement in general, and how to deal with Iran and
Iraq in particular.

Fellowship of Reconciliation. The Massachusetts events are co-sponsored by

SCOTT RITTER, author of TARGET IRAN and IRAQ CONFIDENTIAL, was one of
UNSCOM's most senior weapons inspectors in Iraq between 1991 and 1998, after
having served for eight years as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Marine
Corps. As a Marine, he conducted arms inspections in the former Soviet
Union, and provided analysis of Iraq's missile capacity to General
Schwarzkopf in the 1991 Gulf War. Nation Books is the publisher of "Target
Iran: The Truth About the White House's Plans for Regime Change" and "Iraq
Confidential." "The important thing to know about Scott Ritter is that he
was right." - Seymour Hersh



U.S. TOUR OF DUTY promotes dialogue about civic issues by organizing public
forums, developing media strategies and producing audio/video content.
