"War on Terrorism"
History shows that conventional military force is not only ineffective, but counter-productive in combating terrorism. The Bush Administration's belligerent military response to the September 11 terrorist attacks has created more terrorists than it has eliminated, and security in our own country has been weakened by deployment of reservists and diversion of resources abroad. We need to adopt a smarter approach to terrorism that includes international cooperation, addressing the root causes of terrorism, and taking practical steps such as improving port security and providing more resources for law enforcement in our own country.
