Mr. Ritter will give an insider s account of what is happening in Iraq today and its potential impact on world security. Mr. Ritter was labeled a hero by some, a maverick by others, and a spy by the Iraqi government. In charge of searching out weapons of mass destruction hidden by the world s most ruthless dictatorship, Ritter was on the front lines of the ongoing battle against arms proliferation. Despite verbal support of Ritter s efforts from the U.S. and the U.N. Security Council, behind closed doors they resolved not to confront Iraq s policy. Unwilling to accept the lack of official action against Iraq, Ritter resigned his position proclaiming that the illusion of arms control is more dangerous than no arms control at all.
