Rosett Visits Cornell
Foreign correspondent Claudia Rosett visited campus today, giving a talk at Rockefeller Hall on the dangers of Iran’s nuclear program.
Ms. Rosett spoke before only a few audience members, but made a compelling case for the use of force against Iranian nuclear targets. The main point, she said, was that the U.S. has let Iran operate unfettered for far too long and must take action against their aggressive behavior before they acquire nuclear capabilities.
Rosett previously worked as a foreign correspondent at the Wall Street Journal for over 25 years. Now, she serves as the journalist-in-residence at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.
Also noteworthy is that Rosett’s talk was one of the first events sponsored by the nascent Program on Freedom and Free Socieites. The program, backed by the Manhattan Institute is administered by history and classics Prof. Barry Strauss ’74.
