An End to Evil

by David Frum; Richard Perle

What must we do to make the world safe again -- to defend Americans at home and abroad? An End to Evil: What's Next in the War on Terrorism gives you the answer from two shrewd and informed Washington insiders: David Frum, former speechwriter for President Bush and bestselling author of The Right Man, and Richard Perle, the former assistant secretary of defense and one of the most influential and respected foreign policy leaders in Washington.

An End to Evil also makes it clear that ending the war on terror now would be an unmitigated disaster for our nation. Frum and Perle provide a detailed, candid account of America's continuing vulnerabilities. They provide trenchantly presented and persuasive evidence that despite victories in Afghanistan and Iraq, America is by no means out of danger: the threat of Islamic terrorism is far from ended, the crisis with North Korea continues, and China still harbors aggressive ambitions that threaten not only Taiwan, but the United States.

Perle and Frum also include a bold, practical program to defend America and to achieve final and decisive victory in the war on terror. Here is a blueprint for Washington policy makers, as well as an enlightening series of insights for every patriotic citizen into the threats facing America today and how we must meet them. An End to Evil will define the conservative point of view on foreign policy for a new generation -- and shape the agenda for the 2004 election and beyond. Frum and Perle reveal:

• Why submitting to the authority of the United Nations could result in serious increases in threats to our national security

• France and Saudi Arabia: allies or adversaries? Why it would be prudent for the United States to treat these nations as rivals and perhaps even enemies in the war on terror

• Why the United States must take decisive action to support the overthrow of the terrorist mullahs of Iran -- now, before it's too late

• The terrorist regime of Syria: what America's posture toward it should be

• How the CIA and FBI have completely bungled counter-terrorism initiatives thus far -- and why both organizations need to be radically reorganized in order to face the terrorist threat effectively

• The roots of Muslim rage: why they're not to be found in U.S. policies toward the Middle East, but in Islam itself

• Bill Clinton: how his administration piled restrictions on the CIA and FBI that hamstrung their anti-terror efforts -- contrary to his recent claims to have been obsessed with the terrorist threat

• How Clinton and a whole panoply of weak-willed leaders who couldn't muster the nerve for decisive action doomed our anti-terrorism efforts of the 1990s to failure

• The Israeli-Arab dispute: why virtually everything you read about it in the newspapers is dead wrong

• How fears of renewed "McCarthyism" have hampered our efforts to combat Islamic terrorism

• The strange alliance that has sprung up since 9/11 between the CIA and the Syrian secret service

• Mike Hawash: the strange case of this "average American" who sided with Islamic terrorists, and the lessons it teaches us about what we must do to win the war on terror

• Why the CIA insisted for years that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden detested each other and would never work together -- despite steadily growing evidence to the contrary

• The State Department: how it cunningly manipulates foreign policy, often at cross purposes with the wishes of the President

• The crackdown on terror-supporting Islamic charities: why it is a good move, but it isn't enough

• How the "experts" on Iran have allowed their ideology to run roughshod over the facts, thereby endangering all Americans

• The astonishing extent to which extremist attitudes are found even among American Muslims -- and the hard steps we must take to combat them

• Why we must abandon the illusion that a Palestinian state will contribute in any important way to American security

• Why we must tighten immigration controls and security at home, and how we can accomplish these tasks now

• The hysteria over the Patriot Act: why it is largely baseless
• North Korea: what America must do if negotiations fail

• The next great terror threat: where it will come from, and what we must do to protect ourselves

• Why, despite the seriousness of the terrorist threat, the United States may be a tougher target than it seems to be

"[Richard Perle is the] intellectual guru of the hard-line neoconservative movement in foreign policy. . . . [He] has profound influence over Bush policies and officials in the competition for the hearts of the president and his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice." -- Dana Milbank, Washington Post

I am reading Give Me a Break by John Stossel right now and on page 204-205 is a sentence that reads as follows: Oh, I see; we're into a complicated area. Knowing what job interview questions are illegal is too complicated for the head of the EEOC, but every employer IS America is supposed to understand it. Shouldn't that sentence read, "every employer IN America is supposed to understand it? Somebody really missed the editing on that sentence. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that misses my typos when I'm proofreading or/and using "Spell Check" on my computer at work. I just wanted to mention this because somebody "Dropped the ball" in the editing department -- we're all human, and it's nice to know that everybody makes a mistake; incidentally, the book is marvelous! Thanks, Mr. Stossel for an excellent read. I picked this book up on Friday, February 13th and I can't put it down. Thank you so much. I am a former County worker but I certainly can identify with your comments about "the government"; you're right, in a lot of cases, we're better off having the "Private Sector" do the work. Thank you for your honesty in admitting when you're wrong about something; it's too bad that so many in this country and the world for that matter don't seem to accept responsibility for their own errors in life and choose to blame something or someone for their own shortcomings. Thank you for this excellent book that I first heard about on 20/20 a couple of weeks ago. May you and yours enjoy a long, prosperous life and may you continue to inform our public of so many "myths and misunderstandings" in our world today. Best wishes for your continued success!!
