As coalition forces appear to be reaching the finish line of the fighting, the United States and the international community must now deal with a post-Saddam Iraq. A panel of experts will examine a number of issues, including:

-- How will a post-war Iraqi government be structured and how will stability in the region be affected? -- What is the future role of the U.N.? -- What are the key challenges facing humanitarian agencies, and how will they move forward as the war ends? -- How will countries who opposed war in Iraq be involved in cleanup and restructuring efforts?
