1. Can the War on Terror Be Won?

Author

Gordon, Philip H.

Subjects
*WAR on Terrorism, 2001-2009, *TERMINATION of war, *MILITARY planning, *COUNTERTERRORISM, *21ST century international relations, *MILITARY policy, UNITED States military history, 21st century
Abstract

The article discusses workable U.S. approaches to the war on terror, with recommendations to first define victory more clearly, which involves accepting that the terrorist threat can never be eradicated completely. Then the authors advise finding ways to discredit the terrorists' ideology and undermine their support. Specific topics discussed include comparisons with the Cold War, and the prospects for al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and Islamic fundamentalism or extremist Islamism in the Muslim world.

2. The End of the Bush Revolution.

Author

Subjects
*WAR on Terrorism, 2001-2009, *IRAQ War, 2003-2011, *PUBLIC debts, *INTERNATIONAL relations, *PUBLIC opinion
Abstract

The article discusses United States President George W. Bush and his efforts to pursue the war on terror and spread democracy and freedom around the world. While the Bush administration claims that the war on terror will be pursued for years to come, low public approval ratings are forcing the president to change his policy and reverse the "Bush revolution." Overreaching during the Iraq War, the alienation of allies like Canada and Britain, and the prioritization of the war on terror have resulted in less international political legitimacy, huge debt, and a lack of domestic resources and support.

3. Bridging the Atlantic Divide.

Author

Gordon, Philip H.

Subjects
*INTERNATIONAL relations, *WAR on Terrorism, 2001-2009, *INTERNATIONAL alliances, *21ST century international relations, FOREIGN relations of the United States, EUROPEAN foreign relations
Abstract

The article examines the notion of a transatlantic rift between the United States and Europe in the post-September 11 world. The author notes how U.S.-European differences on matters of policy and global strategy or governance are certainly nothing new. However, in recent months, many observers have concluded that the fundamental cultural and structural basis for a transatlantic alliance is eroding. Several analysts have publicly declared the notion that Americans and Europeans are growing apart, in particular Robert Kagan. However, for all the differences over policy in the 'war on terrorism,' the author highlights how American and European values and interests in the world remain highly similar. Although their tactics sometimes differ, Americans and Europeans broadly share the same democratic, liberal aspirations for their societies and for the rest of the world. The author emphasizes that the allies' differing attitudes toward power have not prevented them from using force together in the past and need not do so in the future.

4. Their Own Army?

Author

Gordon, Philip H.

Subjects

Abstract

This article discusses plans by the European Union to create a credible unified military force. At a December 1999 summit in Helsinki, Finland, the leaders of the European Union (EU) announced their intention to create a rapid reaction force able to act autonomously, send up to 60,000 troops abroad within two months, and sustain them for at least a year. Apart from the hoopla surrounding it, this latest initiative seems more serious than its predecessors. If done right, the development of a serious EU defense force could be a good thing for all concerned reducing American burdens in Europe, making Europe a better and more capable partner, and providing a way for Europeans to tackle security problems where and when the United States cannot or will not get involved. If done badly, however, the EU project risks irrelevance as an empty institutional distraction--or even worse, a step back toward the situation in the Balkans in the early 1990s, when separate European and American strategies and institutions led to impotence and recrimination.

6. Nothing to Fear.

Author

Asmus, Ronald D., Blinken, Antony J., and Gordon, Philip H.

Subjects
*MILITARY strategy, *NATIONAL security, *INTERNATIONAL cooperation, UNITED States politics & government, 2001-2009
Abstract

This article responds to Jeffrey L. Cimbalo's essay "Saving NATO From Europe," and examines the impact of the European Union on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In "Saving NATO From Europe," (November/December 2004), Jeffrey L. Cimbalo warns that a dagger is pointed at the heart of the Atlantic alliance, and the murder weapon is the European Union's draft constitution. Our point of departure is the conviction that the United States needs a strong, self-confident European partner that can bring its political, economic, and military weight to bear in addressing threats to common interests in Europe and beyond. Europe will effectively help the United States meet these challenges only if it becomes a more confident and cohesive actor--a goal reachable only through European integration. Notwithstanding the damage done to U.S.-European relations over the past four years, a large majority of European governments still value cooperation with the United States for the very same reason Washington should seek Brussels' support: because they can best advance their goals together. As a first step, the administration could directly engage and seek to empower the new European Commission president, Portugal's José Manuel Barroso, and the new EU foreign minister, Spain's Javier Solana, both of whom are Atlanticists and true friends of the United States.
