SUMMARY:Happy Dog Takes On ... Series Takes on What's on Everyone's Mind 
 — Iran
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWed 3/11 @ 7:30PM\nThe regular “Happy Dog Takes On” ser
 ies started as a foreign affairs panel discussion taking place for free at
  the Happy Dog in Gordon Square. Then it broadened its scope to address do
 mestic issues as well. This month\, it’s back to looking at the wider wo
 rld as everyone is fixated on what’s going on in Iran and the Middle Eas
 t.\nYou’ve probably read plenty about this sudden attack and the constan
 tly shifting justifications for it\, the debates about its impact on the w
 orld and the U.S. economy\, the potential outcomes\, and whether this war\
 , like the Iraq and Vietnam wars\, will end up being a lost\, costly quagm
 ire after promises of a quick wrap-up. (President George W. Bush’s Secre
 tary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld famously said\, when asked how long the Ir
 aq War would last\, “Maybe six days\, maybe six weeks\, I doubt six mont
 hs.” It lasted nine years.)\nIf you haven’t had it up to your eyeballs
  with the barrage of confusing\, contradictory and infuriating news report
 s\, come hear a couple of experts who likely know a lot more than current 
 Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth\, give their takes. Cleveland Heights Hi
 gh School graduate Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley\, served in a variety of ro
 les in the state department and elsewhere in federal government from 1985 
 through 2023. She spent much of that time posted in the Middle East. Her f
 ellow panelist\, Avidan Y. Cover is Professor of Law and Director of the I
 nstitute for Global Security Law &amp\; Policy at the Case Western Reserve
  University School of Law\, where he focuses on national security\, human 
 rights\, civil rights\, international law and ethics.\nIt’s free and reg
 istration isn’t required\, but it helps them know how much bar and kitch
 en staff to have on hand to get your drinks and tater tots. Go here. The d
 iscussion will be livestreamed on the City Club website starting at 7:30.
