Terrorism kills far fewer Americans annually than automobile
accidents, firearms, or even lightning strikes. Given this minimal
risk, why does the U.S. continue expending lives and treasure to
fight the global war on terror? In Monsters to Destroy, Navin A.
Bapat argues that the war on terror provides the U.S. a cover for
its efforts to expand and preserve American control over global
energy markets. To gain dominance over these markets, the U.S.
offered protection to states critical in the extraction, sale, and
transportation of energy from their "terrorist" internal and
external enemies. However, since the U.S. was willing to protect
these states in perpetuity, the leaders of these regimes had no
incentive to disarm their terrorists. This inaction allowed
terrorists to transition into more powerful and virulent
insurgencies, leading the protected states to chart their own
courses and ultimately break with U.S. foreign policy objectives.
Bapat provides a sweeping look at show how the loss of influence
over these states has accelerated the decline of U.S. economic and
military power, locking it into a permanent war for its own
economic security.
