Secretary of Defense Robert Gates delivered a remarkable speech at
Kansas State University on November 26, 2007. In his address, the
Secretary underscored the pressing need to greatly expand the
nation's "soft power" capabilities. Secretary Gates did not speak
at length about current Department of Defense programs or the need
to increase the defense budget dramatically. Rather, he called for
significant increases in the capacity of other government agencies
to work with the military in the rebuilding of societies in Iraq
and Afghanistan and be prepared to counter the appeal of
international terrorism globally. Clearly the attack on the World
Trade Center and subsequent conflicts in both Iraq and Afghanistan
changed forever how Americans think about "national security."
These events expanded not only the number and scope of issues, but
also the overall complexity of the process.
