A restoration of U.S. national security is vital concerning events in the last two weeks. Remember the fad cliché in the nineties about a New World Order. Not the most favored term for global affairs, however, we must look at the world from an entirely different lens. July 4 Kim Jung Ill and North Korea attempted to get the worlds attention with his exuberant missile display. Terrorists kill 200 hundred Indians in train bombing. In addition, an Israeli soldier kidnapped leading to a 5-day war in Israel and Hezballah. Today is the 16th. There is Iran, and do not for get the evolving democratization going on in Iraq. The Bush Administration and Congress most expect crisis to appear, uneventful at times, but indeed troublesome for our interests. A shift in doctrine will take place if Israel continues. A new doctrine based on current and future events of global affairs and national security must occur. The U.S. hesitation to intervene in talks between Israel and Hezballah may be a hint that if we do not we will let Israel rain hell on any opposing forces.
Rachel Kleinfeld, Director of Truman National Security Project, has a rather straightforward yet historic point about FDR, Truman, and JFK.
