EDITOR'S NOTE

Afghanistan and Pakistan, Russia and Iran, North Korea and China — the crucial theatres for U.S. foreign policy are the focus of extensive speeches and strategy statements this year. With negotiations underway with Iran, a strategic review in process for Afghanistan, a major counter-terrorist offensive begun by Pakistan and actions by the United States on missile placements and counter-proliferation, Foreign Policy Bulletin will be providing extensive documentation of U.S. positions. In this issue, we present the opening round of these positions, along with official statements on terrorism, Israeli settlement policy, and Iraq.

President Obama has become renowned for his speeches — indeed his speeches on foreign policy were instrumental in his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year. Foreign Policy Bulletin makes these key speeches, and those by Secretary Clinton and other foreign policy officials, readily available in hard copy and in our on-line archives. Keep your subscription to FPB current to allow your students access to these key documents, and to have them easily available and indexed by topic at the touch of your keyboard.
