Tenteet sowe: I don't think let's separate the name warrentero from the substance of what actually happened. Do you support, number one, extraordinary rendition to torture as part of this warrenterror? And do you support number three, a invasion and occupation of countries without authorization from the u? N? For the against panelor the against pannel, i personally and qully in the line we pushes, we don't see a polarization between military action on the one hand and law and order on the other. We think there's a third way, that's to empower civil society,. So would you please elaborate on what could have been done in that third way

Have the West’s efforts to eradicate Al-Qaeda around the world simply been fuelling the flames of hatred and violence? Or would we have suffered even more atrocities if we’d left the militants to plot in their hiding places? Is the US right to be pursuing its hard line against militants in countries such as Pakistan and Yemen? These are just some of the questions explored in this Intelligence Squared debate from September 2011, which saw former President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf and former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Colleen Graffy defend the motion. Opposing the motion were former French foreign minister and co-founder of Médecins Sans Frontières Bernard Kouchner and former UK Permanent Representative at the United Nations in New York Sir Jeremy Greenstock. The debate was chaired by BBC World News presenter Zeinab Badawi.
