A propos de cet article

Paperback. Terrorism kills far fewer Americans annually than automobile accidents, firearms, or even lightning strikes. Given this minimal risk, why does the U.S. continue expending lives and treasure to fight the global war on terror? In Monsters to Destroy, Navin A. Bapat argues that the war on terror provides the U.S. a cover for its efforts to expand and preserve American control over global energy markets. To gain dominance over these markets, the U.S. offeredprotection to states critical in the extraction, sale, and transportation of energy from their "terrorist" internal and external enemies. However, since the U.S. was willing to protect these states in perpetuity,the leaders of these regimes had no incentive to disarm their terrorists. This inaction allowed terrorists to transition into more powerful and virulent insurgencies, leading the protected states to chart their own courses and ultimately break with U.S. foreign policy objectives. Bapat provides a sweeping look at how the loss of influence over these states has accelerated the decline of U.S. economic and military power, locking it into a permanent war for its own economic security. In Monsters to Destory, Navin A. Bapat addresses why the U.S. continues to spend trillions of dollars fighting terrorism when Americans are more likely to die from accidental drownings or lightning strikes. He argues that the U.S. fights the war to protect its dominance over global energy markets, and the peg between the U.S. dollar and oil trades. To do so, the U.S. guaranteed permanent protection for the governments that served as the key suppliers ofenergy, and those that had key areas for transit. Unfortunately, this gave these states no incentive to fight their terrorists, and ultimately contributed to the growth of these movements, which is now pushing the U.S. into a long-term war on terror.
