In Which NTodd Says His Peace
More Wisdom From SSI
The conclusion of a monograph published by the Army's Strategic Studies Institute (PDF):
The global war on terrorism as presently defined and conducted is strategically unfocused, promises much more than it can deliver, and threatens to dissipate U.S. military and other resources in an endless and hopeless search for absolute security. The United States may be able to defeat, even destroy, al-Qaeda, but it cannot rid the world of terrorism, much less evil.
Contrast to the neocons' insane worldview. Alas, the current administration has ignored a great many good papers that have been produced at the SSI, the AWC, and other military organizations, so I'm sure this contribution to the debate will make no noise where it matters most.
