Inhaltsangabe

Terrorism, like crime, can never be completely eradicated. As the title of this book suggests, however, the new specter of al-Qa'eda-styled terrorism can be better contained. This book highlights some of the legal and policy challenges that confront the United States, and emphasizes the importance of developing capable military forces while promoting democracy as the long-term solution to terrorism. Even the cynic who believes that the world is ruled by the threat--or use--of force must admit the importance of America establishing its leadership through the rule of law. The world's most precious commodities--democratic values and human rights--must not become casualties in the War on Terror. Indeed, these are the very tools that will win the War on Terror."
