"The clash of civilizations" has become a common phrase in
discussions of U.S.-Middle East relations. This book explores the
nature of the friction between the Muslim world and Western states,
looking at legitimate perceptions and grievances on both sides
involving historical, political, economic, cultural, psychological,
and strategic elements.Arguing that "Islam versus the West" does
not represent the arena of the next global ideological struggle,
the authors examine specific issues of a bilateral nature that
require careful handling to prevent the consolidation of states
into opposing blocs. They discuss Islam's efforts to politically
enhance the real power of Muslim states and to equalize relations
with the West in the strategic arena; the enlarged role of Islam in
the internal politics of Muslim countries; and the urgency of
political, economic, and social change to break away from
traditional authoritarian orders. A central theme of the book is
that political Islam threatens the established order in most Muslim
countries far more than it threatens the West and that violent
confrontation can best be circumvented by integrating Islamist
forces into the political process.
Known as the graveyard of empires, Afghanistan has now been singled
out as Obama's "just war," the destination for an additional thirty
thousand US troops in an effort to shore up an increasingly
desperate occupation. Nick Turse brings together a range of leading
commentators, politicians, and military strategists to analyze
America's real motives and likely prospects. Through on-the-spot
reporting, clear-headed analysis and historical comparisons with
Afghanistan's previous occupiers-Britain and the Soviet Union, who
also argued that they were fighting a just and winnable war-The
Case for Withdrawal From Afghanistan carefully examines the current
US strategy and offers sobering conclusions. This timely and
focused collection aims at the heart of Obama's foreign policy and
shows why it is so unlikely to succeed.
