| Tóm tắt: | As this book entered the copyediting stage, the November 2006 mid-term
elections saw Democrats take back both houses of Congress. Opposition
to the war in Iraq was thought to have been the swing issue for voters.
The Bush administration’s misguided “war on terror” mired in the military
occupation of Iraq has created a number of critical problems for the nation
that will likely reverberate for years to come, including the staggering economic
costs of the war, the incitement of new waves of anti-Americanism
generating more recruits to groups like al Qaeda, the alarming assault on
civil liberties at home, and the damage done to U.S. relations among allies
abroad. Opinion polls now show that a majority of Americans oppose the
war in Iraq. The Bush administration is facing deepening divisions in its own
party over the war and Democrats have seized the opportunity to push for
change. The oversight responsibility of the new Congress, through hearings
and investigations, should shed more light on some of the ill-effects
of the war just mentioned. However, even as policy analysts turn toward
the future and sort through the myriad problems, one concern likely to be
overlooked is the potential impact on domestic terrorism. |
