Although considerable attention has been paid to deterrence theory
and crisis management, the equally important topic of ending wars
has been virtually ignored. Conflict termination is the stepchild
of U.S. strategy for a number of reasons. Thinking about how wars
should end presupposes acceptance of the fact that war-especially
nuclear war- is possible. Further, analyzing options for ending
conflicts implies less-than-total victory, a concept that not only
runs counter to the U.S. approach to warfare but also raises the
specter of aEUROoelimited war,aEURO an approach that fell into
disfavor following Korea and Vietnam. Finally, defining conflict
termination objectives assumes that we think more about ends than
means, that we know what is important to us and why, and thus
understand the risks we will accept to defend specific interests
and objectives. The contributors examine a wide variety of topics,
ranging from Soviet and U.S. views on conflict termination to past,
present, and future U.S. military service contributions. Their aim
is to demonstrate the importance of careful evaluation of conflict
termination goals during peacetime because when war begins passions
and emotions will cloud decisionmaking.
