Divided We Fall
Kitfield, James
National Journal, April 8, 2006, v38, #14, pp18-23
“The article discusses the greater strategic cooperation among the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the war against Islamic extremism. The U.S. and the capitals of Europe have forged a degree of strategic consensus, recognizing the significance of a Western alliance which was weakened by divisions over the Iraq war. It compares the response of the West to Iran's nuclear brinkmanship and to the Iraq War. It presents the differing views on the decision of NATO to assume greater control of military operations in Afghanistan.” James Kitfield is defense and foreign affairs correspondent for National Journal.
