"The cold war is over, but NATO lives on. Without a unifying Soviet threat, the alliance is facing an identity crisis. Torn between being a club for democracies and a mean for fighting offensive wars, NATO has expanded right up to Russia's front door, becoming ever more threatening to the resurgent power. Without a serious rethink of NATO's fundamental purpose, the alliance could well come apart and create conflict with the former Soviet Union in the process"
Richard K. Betts is an adjunct senior fellow for national-security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
