Articles
On Liberty
By Nikolas K. Gvosdev and Paul J. Saunders. If you want democracy for a week, invade. If you want it for a decade, occupy. If you want it for a lifetime, take up gardening.
Letters
Charles Krauthammer, Mark Brzezinski, Peter Lavelle, Jay Loo, Moshe Zvi Marvit and Fred Seigel.
American Maximalism
by Stephen Sestanovich. President Bush's reputation as a radical is exaggerated. He is following in the footsteps of bold predecessors. So why is he making such a mess of it?
Imperial Liberalism
By Robert Cooper. Covenants without the sword are but words. You can do anything with bayonets but sit upon them. And both truths must be heeded.
Reaganism v. Neo-Reaganism
By Richard Lowry. Reagan knew the difference between a conservative foreign policy and Wilsonian interventionism. Do his soi-disant heirs know it too?
The Schizophrenic Superpower
By Alan Dupont. Japan would prefer to be an ecnomic giant and a political pygmy. Neither circumstances nor its neighbors will allow it that luxury.
Arafat's Poisoned Legacy
By Barry Rubin. Arafat's Palestinian nationalism denied the legitimacy of any Israeli state. His successors must shed this straightjacket if they want a state of their own.
Double-Red-Crossed
By Lee A. Casey and David B. Rivkin. The International Committee of the Red Cross strains at the gnat of American unilateralism and swallows the camel of terrorist atrocities. Stop applauding.
Borderline Insanity
By Mark Krikorian. Compassion and national security often conflict. President Bush's immigration policy, by seeking both, delivers neither.
In Defense of Striped Pants
By Morton Ambramowitz and Leslie H. Gelb. Governments get the bureaucracies the deserve.
Re-Forming Intelligence
By Saxby Chambliss. Congress has made a start. But the priority of the new Director of National Intelligence must be better HUMINT.
Two Kinds of Internationalism
By Marc F. Plattner. What Europeans condemn as unilateralism is in fact traditional postwar internationalism. As Lockeans, Americans prefer it to transnationalism because it's democratic.
Peace Through Conversation
By David Martin Jones. Europe's favorite philosopher, Jurgen Habermas has invented a new Weltpolitik: If we talk long enough, we'll all agree.
Trading Places
By Peter F. Drucker. America has long been the world's number one economy. It won't be soon.
In the Tsunami's Wake
By Anjalika Bardalai. It was a human tragedy, but not an economic disaster.
The Taxing of Nations
By Richard W. Rahn. Europe's high taxers want to prevent their citizens from voting with their portfolios.
Reviews
Who Won the War?
By Geoffrey Smith. In the Cold War, Reagan overreached-- and hit the mark.
How to Fight Terrorism
By Daniel Byman. Radical Islam is its own worst enemy. It will marginalize itself unless the United States overreacts.
French Without Tears
By Martin Walker. Cet animal est tres mechant; quand on l'attaque, il se defend. Quelquefois.
Reporter-at-Large: Trouble in Tbilisi
By Whit Mason. Liberty and security are hard to combine. Georgians risk losing both.
