Colin H. Kahl is an associate professor at Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. From 2009 to 2011, he was the deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East.
Colin Kahl argues in favor of the pending nuclear deal, arguing that it puts the prospects for "reaching a comprehensive agreement to resolve the nuclear impasse peacefully, while far from guaranteed, have never been brighter."
