May I say that that viewpoint is rather narrow. The issue is in dealing with terrorism in the larger context. Can we, by ourselves, deal with worldwide terrorism? Can we invade every country that has not just WMD, but the threat of WMD? That have leaders who desire them? Can we secure both our safety and our freedom if we are perceived as colonialists? Empire builders? I think not. I think that the New World order is a world without 'super powers', a world that requires a framework of anti-terrorism that includes the other powers of the world (unfortunately, France is included :) Is that framework the UN? Or is it a new organization with the US at its head? IMO it must start as the latter, and we need to work to shake out the cobwebs and help define an internation justice context. As more and more countries turn to democracy, we need to demonstrate what a democracy really is, and not compromise the ideals that not only we hold true, but that others aspire to.
