Seven years ago, the world rallied to our side. “Nous sommes tous Americans”— we are all Americans— read the headlines in French newspapers. Our allies joined the attack on al Qaeda and its Taliban allies in Afghanistan. We enlisted local allies to help lead the successful attack. Al Qaeda’s leaders fled to the mountainous territories on the Pakistan border. (2) The UN nations joined in collective effort to identify and track down those committed to terror. S R _ Reading _ text 2.1

That war of choice has been one of the worst debacles in our history. Every assumption, every argument justifying it turned out to be wrong. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Saddham Hussein was an opponent of, not an ally of the religious extremists of al Qaeda. The war and consequent occupation was not financed by Iraqi oil money. S R _ Reading _ text 2.2

We suffered over 30,000 casualties and still counting. We wasted over $1 trillion dollars, with the direct costs rising at more than $10 billion a month. We stained our reputation in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo1. We strained our own military. Our invasion strengthened Iran’s hand in the region. And it weakened our support for the fledging government in Afghanistan, allowing al Qaeda, according to US intelligence reports, to reconstitute itself and pose once more a serious threat of attack on the US and its allies. Now, al Qaeda and its Taliban allies threaten not just Afghanistan, but Pakistan itself, a country that, unlike Iraq, really does possess nuclear weapons. S R _ Reading _ text 3-4

Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading Unit 7 The 9/11 Terrorist Attack The whole notion of the war on terror, a report by the conservative Rand Corporation concludes, has been counter-productive. It inflates our enemies, providing them with global credibility, and it distorts our task. The real job of fighting al Qaeda — now a metastasized network of extremist cells whose greatest strength is the willingness of some to commit suicide — is overwhelmingly a matter of intelligence gathering and cooperation, of police investigation and tracking, of disrupting financial and travel arrangements, and of course, of winning a global conflict of ideas, painting them not as a global behemoth which they are not but as the extremists that they are.

If we had invested that $1 trillion in conservation and new energy, we would have generated jobs and growth here at home, made ourselves less indebted abroad and less dependent on foreign oil. We surely would have been better able to deal with the economic downturn we now face.

Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading Unit 7 The 9/11 Terrorist Attack The current bluster about “winning the war” ignores all this. It’s hard to proclaim victory in a war that should never have been fought. (4) And in fact we’re a long way from a “victory” in Iraq, if that is defined as President Bush and John McCain say, as leaving behind a stable, democratic government that is a secure American ally. Even this week, General Patraeus has suggested delaying further troop drawdowns. The Shiite dominated government is aggravating, not solving the political divide with the Sunni tribes that have helped to create the current decline in violence. The economy is still a shambles. The Kurds are still seeking independence. If we stay until these tensions are settled, we will stay for years, if not decades. S R _ Reading _ text 8 S R _ Reading _ text 9

Will we fundamentally revise our wrong-headed strategy on the threat posed by al Qaeda? At their convention, Republicans, as in 2004, sought to make the war a partisan club, and reduce the debates to taunts. Americans deserve better. But it will be up to citizens to demand this of their leaders and of the media.
