We have Allies in the region from whose security and economies we cannot extricate ourselves …
Jay Parker: we are often pushed to reduce complex issues to common threads that don’t deal with all essential issues. Disappointing that we don’t look at complexities vs throwing quick military or $ solutions at problems.
What are our real elements of national power and what are our real National interests.
At National Defense U, many international students come from countries where most military and police strategies are used internally.
Malou– we must examine how our policies exacerbate/eventuate further terrorism. El Shavab has great recruiting in Minnesota bc of Somali community
