THE ZENPUNDIT ROUNDTABLE:
ON GLOBALIZATION AND WARIt is my great pleasure to announce the start of a symposium designed to examine our time as an age of globalization and war. On Wednesday November 9th I am turning Zenpundit over to a special group of invited academic experts, military veterans, experienced journalists and highly regarded bloggers who will be debating the state of the world and the war we find ourselves in today and perhaps tomorrow. The issues are deep but the range and of the participants is wide and their prose is sharp. I am certain you will find their arguments as challenging and interesting to read as I have these last few days. The Zenpundit Roundtable:Austin Bay Bruce Kesler of

Comments from the readers, as always, are welcome and encouraged. Many of the authors will be cross-posting and linking for further discussion on their own blogs as well.
