Are we truly safer in the post-9/11 world, or have recent conflicts created new vulnerabilities? Joel Skousen provides a critical analysis of America's approach to terrorism, the ongoing war in Iraq, and the lasting implications of September 11th. As fierce fighting continues in Fallujah with significant casualties mounting, Skousen examines whether military interventions in the Middle East are effectively addressing terrorism or potentially exacerbating the threats we face. The discussion explores the complex relationship between the war on terror and the Iraq conflict, questioning whether resources are being allocated effectively to protect American interests. Skousen offers insights into intelligence failures, strategic miscalculations, and the broader geopolitical consequences of military actions taken since 9/11. This thought-provoking analysis challenges listeners to consider whether current anti-terrorism strategies are creating the security they promise, or whether alternative approaches might better serve long-term peace and stability in an increasingly volatile world.
