"...saying that there is insufficient basis for dogmatic defeatism." >>> I agree, but the opposite condition applies as well: pollannaish views are not particularly helpful. >>> In general --- aside from all the short-term 'sturm and drang' --- the long-term problem to keep an eye out for is potential swelling of terrorist ranks, a factor of disaffection and lack of hope or opportunity on the Arab streets. >>> Lack of attention to anti-proliferation efforts (such as the recent proposed cut of $46 million to our funding for the program to secure nuclear materials and technologies in the former Soviet Union) could turn out to be the worst kind of 'penny wise, pound foolish' policy.
