Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from United States Security Interests in the Post-Cold-War World: Committee on National Security, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session; Hearing Held June 6, 1996
Today the committee initiates a series of hearings to begin ask ing the question American policymakers have been reluctant to confront since the collapse of the Soviet Empire; namely, what are this Nations true security interests?
Symptomatic of the challenge we face is the fact that the period of history in which we now live has been defined by what it is not. It is not the cold war. Someone recently referred to it as the hot peace.
But this is the seventh year of the post-cold-war era. While we retain the instinct for leadership and understand that peace and stability ?ourish when America leads, we have yet to discuss, let alone develop, a consensus on what national interests are worth fighting and dying for.
