The upcoming NATO summit will likely focus on NATO's ongoing military campaigns in the Balkans and Afghanistan, as well as plans for military modernization among the NATO partners. Other topics of discussion, such as NATO's role in Iraq, may prove to be more contentious. Can France and Germany refuse a sovereign Iraqi government's request for the alliance's involvement? If the alliance does not support America at this critical moment, will it continue to be a valued ally for the United States? And as NATO attention seems to be drawn further and further abroad, will the alliance now be forced to look closer to home at developments in former Soviet states? 
Please join the New Atlantic Initiative to discuss the future of NATO on the eve of its summit.
