Middle East
The Middle East presented perhaps the most challenging combination of national security concerns of the transition, like a boiling cauldron with no lid. The transition placed special emphasis on both individual nations (Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iran) and on broad regional topics (nuclear proliferation, the war on terror, and the ongoing quest for peace).
