Op-Eds
"The Pentagon's Debate Over
What Iraq Means"
The
Command Post, 22 January 2005
We've been linking to the
work of Tom Barnett for some time, including his two Esquire articles,
"The Pentagon's New Map" and "Mr. President, Here's How To Make Sense
Of Our Iraq Strategy," and just yesterday, the CSPAN stream of his
famous Defense Dept. brief on a grand military strategy for the United
States. He's a heavy hitter. And here's the really
great part: Tom has agreed to author an exclusive perspective piece for
the Command Post's Op/Ed page, which you may find below. We're thrilled
to have his contribution, and we hope you find the content enjoyable
and provocative. --The Command Post

Americanization. That's because several new superpowers are rising
across the landscape, offering distinctively different faces to the
often-demonized globalization process. Here's a quick preview.
Targeting Terrorism
Forget Europe. How About
These Allies?
The
Washington Post, April 11, 2004
Terrorists
buy a national election in Spain for the price of 10 backpack bombs and
remove a "crucial" pillar of the Western coalition in Iraq.
Predictably, op-ed columnists and talking heads raise the cry for the
Bush administration to "save the Western alliance." This is a knee-jerk
response that reflects historical habit more than strategic logic.
