Winning the War of Ideas
June 24th, 2008 by Adam
Newly sworn in Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs James Glassman writes in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal about how America can undertake ideological engagement to help win the war of ideas that is part of the War on Terror. Rhetoric should move away Manichean attempts to portray the struggle as one between the terrorists and everyone else. He suggests his goal will be to promote “…a pluralistic world with many peaceful and productive choices on how to order one’s life. The task is not to persuade potential recruits to become like Americans or Europeans, but to divert them from becoming terrorists.”
