WEB EXCLUSIVE
Are We Safe Yet?
An Online Roundtable
 |
Five years after 9/11, there have been no further terrorist attacks in the United States, but many claim that the danger remains real and that another might be just around the corner. John Mueller argues in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs that the "fear-mongerers" are wrong and that the threat is much less dire than most people think. In this special Web exclusive, Foreign Affairs has assembled and all-star panel — James Fallows, Fawaz Gerges, Jessica Stern, and Paul R. Pillar — to assess Mueller's claim and the general state of the "war on terror" at five.
The panel's first round of posts can be found at the link below; the second round — in which panel members reply to one another — will go live on the Foreign Affairs website on Tuesday, September 11.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF WAR

 "It is necessary reading. . ."
— Noam Chomsky
"This is one of the most important books I can remember." — John Pilger
At a time when the international community is again threatening some countries with sanctions, this book comes as a warning. It should be mandatory reading for all those who continue to consider sanctions an effective form of policy.
