George Friedman Quotes

President Obama Dropped The Term 'war On Terror', And Rightly So. Terrorism Is Not An Enemy But A Type Of Warfare That May Or May Not Be Adopted By An Enemy. Imagine If, After Pearl Harbor, An Attack That Relied On Aircraft Carriers, President Roosevelt Had Declared A Global War On Naval Aviation. By Focusing On Terrorism Instead Of Al Qaeda Or Radical Islam, Bush Elevated A Specific Kind Of Assault To A Position That Shaped American Global Strategy, Which Left The United States Strategically Off-balance.
Obama May Have Clarified The Nomenclature, But He Left In Place A Significant Portion Of The Imbalance, Which Is An Obsession With The Threat Of Terrorist Attacks. As We Consider Presidential Options In The Coming Decade, It Appears Imperative That We Clear Up Just How Much Of A Threat Terrorism Actually Presents And What That Threat Means For U.S. Policy.
