    Tony Loyd:First I want to say what this session is NOT about. This is NOT a Bush-bashing session. This is NOT an anti-american discussion. This is a discussion about how it is different to train in a world where the US is conducting a "Global War on Terror." How are the challenges different for us as trainers and for the companies we represent? What do we owe our companies as training professionals to help deal with this strange new world? Please come join the discussion.
