According to President Bush, the American
people are safer as a result of invading Iraq. True, Saddam Hussein
has been removed from power. But al Qaeda, the group that planned
and carried out the attacks on September 11, remains at large.
Meanwhile, the White House has conceded that Saddam Hussein had
nothing to do with the attacks. Charles Pea argues that the war in
Iraq is but one misstep in the Bush administrations global war on
terror. Terrorism is simply a tactic, however, not an enemy. Trying
to eradicate it is a quixotic quest that does not focus on those
responsible for 9/11. Instead, the national security strategy
should consist of three central elements: establishing homeland
security against further attacks; dismantling the al Qaeda
terrorist network; and enacting a foreign policy that does not
attract new al Qaeda terrorists. This approach requires
restructuring U.S. forces and ending Cold Warera commitments that
distract from the current, pressing threat. It also requires
ameliorating the negative consequences of an interventionist U.S.
foreign policy, which creates incentives and opportunities for
terrorists to target the United States. |
