Former U.S. Ambassador Mark Hambley, who has served in fourteen different diplomatic positions including several in the Middle East, is a frequent guest of the World Affairs Council of Western Massachusetts. Hambley speaks on a variety of topics at WACWM, including the Arabian Peninsula. William Morris is Secretary General of the Next Century Foundation, an international organization that works toward peace among nations. Hambley and Morris joined Carrie Saldo to discuss why the Arabian Peninsula, a relatively small area of the world, has such a geopolitical impact, and why the United States is involved in the region’s Yemeni Civil War.
