Wrong on Terror 11.03.06
Dear MP Network,
Although 'weak on terror' is a common phrase these days, 'wrong on terror'
covers more ground and right now may reach even those who usually think any
military reaction at all is 'strong.' But don't just take my word for how
'wrong' it is . In case you missed it, below is the link for today's
brilliant Alternet article by MIT Professor of Political Science Stephen Van
Evera, laying out all of the dangerous mistakes the Bush administration has
made so far re terrorism.
His piece also suggests a comprehensive 'strong counterrorism' policy that
would include better intelligence practices, more thorough homeland
defenses, securing of nuclear and biological weapons in Russia and
elsewhere, engaging in vigorous diplomacy, ending inflammatory conflicts
like the Israeli-Palestinian one, and saving/resuscitating failed states.
Professor Van Evera is also the Associate Director of the MIT Center for
International Studies, and a member of the MIT Security Studies Program.

The Bush Administration Is Weak on Terror

Despite the tough talk, Bush's regime has more to help the terrorists
than hurt them.
