Must All Wars End? One Year After the President's NDU Speech, Where Are We?

A year later, there are calls to repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, as well as calls to extend its reach to Benghazi, Boko Haram, and beyond. While there has been a quickening pace in detainee transfers out of Guantanamo, the military commission proceedings continue to spark legal challenges and progress at a painfully slow pace. There also remains controversy over the lack of transparency and apparent mistakes in the United States' targeted killing programs.

As the Obama Administration prepares to enter its final two years, and combat operations in Afghanistan come to a close, this discussion will address three key questions:

• Where are we at war?
• When will those wars end?
• Where and when is "war" the wrong approach?
