Blinded by emotional rhetoric, political posturing, and genuine fear, previous efforts to defend our national security against aggressors intent on inflicting personal and economic destruction prove, in hindsight, to be misguided, panicked, and reactionary. Evaluation and assessment to date is largely focused on reviewing government documents, doing little to alleviate the distorted perspectives from which we vainly attempt to invoke workable policy.
