Terror and Liberalism
22 June 2004
Description
A manifesto for an aggressive liberal response to terrorist attacks.
The author considers the wars against fascism and communism from the past, and draws cautionary lessons. But he also draws from those past experiences a liberal program for the present—a program that departs in fundamental respects from the policies of the Bush administration.
