Inside the Foreign Affairs May/June 2007 issue
Al Qaeda Strikes Back
By Bruce Riedel, Senior Fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution.
Five years after 9/11, the United States' deadliest adversary is stronger than ever — and may even be trying to lure Washington into a war with Iran.
Bush and the Generals
By Michael C. Desch, Texas A&M, George H. W. Bush School of Government and Public Service.
The rift between U.S. military and civilian leaders did not start with George W. Bush, but his administration's meddling and disregard for military expertise have made it worse.
