It is the policy of the United States to seek and support
democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture,
with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world. In the world
today, the fundamental character of regimes matters as much as the
distribution of power among them. The goal of our statecraft is to
help create a world of democratic, well-governed states that can
meet the needs of their citizens and conduct themselves responsibly
in the international system. This is the best way to provide
enduring security for the American people. Achieving this goal is
the work of generations. The United States is in the early years of
a long struggle, similar to what our country faced in the early
years of the Cold War. The 20th century witnessed the triumph of
freedom over the threats of fascism and communism. Yet a new
totalitarian ideology now threatens, an ideology grounded not in
secular philosophy but in the perversion of a proud religion. Its
content may be different from the ideologies of the last century,
but its means are similar: intolerance, murder, terror,
enslavement, and repression. Like those who came before us, we must
lay the foundations and build the institutions that our country
needs to meet the challenges we face. The chapters that follow will
focus on several essential tasks. The United States must: Champion
aspirations for human dignity; Strengthen alliances to defeat
global terrorism and work to prevent attacks against us and our
friends; Work with others to defuse regional conflicts; Prevent our
enemies from threatening us, our allies, and our friends with
weapons of mass destruction (WMD); Ignite a new era of global
economic growth through free markets and free trade; Expand the
circle of development by opening societies and building the
infrastructure of democracy; Develop agendas for cooperative action
with other main centers of global power; Transform America's
national security institutions to meet the challenges and
opportunities of the 21st century; and Engage the opportunities and
confront the challenges of globalization.
