Steven Simon, author of Grand Delusion: The Rise and Fall of American Ambition in the Middle East, joins The Realignment to discuss America's role in the Middle East after the end of the War on Terror, what went wrong over 40 years of intervention, focusing on pursuing national interests over hubristic ambition, and the lessons for future policymakers from his time on the National Security Council.
