The United States is now in the third year of the global war on
terrorism. That war began as a fight against the organization that
perpetrated the heinous attacks of September 11, 2001, but soon
became a much more ambitious enterprise, encompassing, among other
things, an invasion and occupation of Iraq. As part of the war on
terrorism, the United States has committed not only to ridding the
world of terrorism as a means of violence but also to transforming
Iraq into a prosperous democratic beacon for the rest of the
autocratically ruled and economically stagnant Middle East to
follow. Dr. Jeffrey Record examines three features of the war on
terrorism as currently defined and conducted: (1) the
administration's postulation of the terrorist threat, (2) the scope
and feasibility of U.S. war aims, and (3) the war's political,
fiscal, and military sustainability. He finds that the war on
terrorism-as opposed to the campaign against al-Qaeda-lacks
strategic clarity, embraces unrealistic objectives, and may not be
sustainable over the long haul. He calls for down-sizing the scope
of the war on terrorism to reflect concrete U.S. security interests
and the limits of American military power. The Strategic Studies
Institute is pleased to offer this monograph as a contribution to
the national security debate over the aims and course of the war on
terrorism. Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr. Director, Strategic Studies
Institute
