Evil is as Evil Does
Frum
& Perle: Apologists for Pre-emption
By RICHARD FORNO
Those unfamiliar with foreign policy and national
security studies may interpret "An End To Evil" for
what it claims to be: namely, a "manual for victory"
[against all of America's enemies.] Those familiar with foreign
policy, current and historical events, and who possess a modicum
of common sense and objectivity will see the book for what it
is: namely, a dogmatic and ideological view of the world replete
with fanciful--some would say extreme--whims about what to do
about it.
The authors espouse the controversial
neo-conservative political beliefs that, among other things,
America should be free to use its unbridled power (or military)
to promote its values around the world, that Israel is the focal
point to bring about Middle East stability, and that the United
States is hampered unnecessarily by international institutions
and agreements like the United Nations.
Both authors are experienced Washington
insiders: Richard Perle is a longtime defense hawk, member of
the secretive Defense Policy Board, and former assistant defense
secretary in the Reagan administration. Canadian-born David Frum
is the former speechwriter in President George W. Bush's administration
who coined the now infamous "axis of evil" catchphrase
used in the 2002 State of the Union speech. As insiders, both
are privy to significant insights, debate, and views from all
corners of the Washington establishment--which makes it perhaps
surprising how little diversity of opinion and analysis makes
it into the book.
To their credit, the authors provide
concrete examples of the roots of terrorism around the world
and the many complexities associated with effectively dealing
with this international challenge. And, surprisingly, they make
a noticeable effort to discuss non-military concerns such as
woman1s' rights in the Islamic world, the religious hypocrisy
of certain Islamic nations, and also confirm what many Washington
insiders believe yet have never put into practice: namely, that
despite the creation of the Department of Homeland Security,
the single greatest obstacle toward truly improving America's
national security is Washington's ongoing inability to fundamentally
reform the FBI bureaucracy, culture, and operational mindset
in a way that enables the agency to support America's new homeland
security needs effectively, correctly noting that America's domestic
war on terrorism is "...being waged by the same people who
so dismally mishandled it in the 1990s." These very real
concerns unfortunately appear toward the end of the book, and
are overshadowed by other, more questionable, items in the pages
beforehand.
Despite the aforementioned--and quite
salient--observations regarding the presence and causalities
of terror in the present day, "An End to Evil" serves
as an apologist's view of the Bush Doctrine of pre-emption and
unilateralism by sternly defending the Administration's stated
(and unstated) goals and definitions of national security and
American interests. The book's prescription for American "victory"
essentially boils down to this: forcing "regime change"
in Iraq, Iran, and Syria; blockading North Korea; "squeezing"
China, working to force internal change in Saudi Arabia, punitatively
isolating the "cowardly" French, and participating
with the United Nations and other international bodies only on
terms favorable to American interests. Also, in their eyes, Israel
can do no wrong, and as the undeserving victim of Islamic extremism,
warrants America's unwavering support.
The authors openly advocate "tossing
aside" dictators and undemocratic governments without compunction
when it suits American purposes. While they prefer that allies
support American policies, they request them to refrain from
actively opposing them publicly (or by denying us military overflight
rights of their airspace.) Where they once supported a unified
European bloc earlier in their careers, they now fear one. Finally,
the authors' disdain for the State Department is obvious from
the start -- unless it marches in political lockstep with (and
never offers a contrary view or analysis in public or private)
from the President, that is.
In other words, if the world won't let
America do what it wants, America will go ahead and do it anyway,
because nobody else can match us dollar-for-dollar or military-for-military
and because dissenting domestic views or international calls
for multilateralism are simply unimportant, irrelevant, or made
by the uninformed and for political gain by the minority (the
latter being a convenient and partisan defense of existing policies.)
The authors believe that, as the world's hyperpower, America
is free to place its own interests ahead of anyone else -- and
even the cherished tenets of international law -- whenever expedient
or convenient. (One wonders if an early title for the book was
"Let Them All Eat Cake" and written with Frank Sinatra's
"My Way" playing in the background.)
Beyond these key points and the occasional
nugget of reality-based analysis and commentary, the book is
replete with selective sets of facts (or, rather, the selective
interpretation of such facts) to support the authors' ideological
arguments. Frequent partisan sniping and Richard Perle's characteristic
smugness undermines the authors' credibility and clearly indicates
that despite their claims to the contrary, "An End to Evil"
is nothing more than a bully pulpit to defend the existing, sometimes
controversial, neo-conservative polices of the Bush Administration.
"Propaganda" may be too harsh of a term, though not
by much.
For example, the authors note that in
response to critics of the Iraq war, the Bush Administration
"succeeded" in "acting" against al-Qaeda
following September 11--not "eliminating" the terror
organization (which it hasn't) but merely "acting"
against it. On the surface and word for word, this claim is true--the
United States indeed has "acted" against al-Qaeda--but
'action' is not necessarily the same as 'progress' or even 'victory'
as the authors imply. Such semantics are reminiscent of the now-infamous
"sixteen words" fiasco regarding alleged uranium sales
from Africa to Iraq mentioned in the 2003 State of the Union
address.
Like the Bush Administration, questionable
facts are treated as gospel by the authors. One example is the
alleged meeting of September 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta with Iraqi
intelligence in Prague. Despite the FBI producing public evidence
such as credit card receipts showing Atta in South Florida during
that time and otherwise refuting this allegation, both the Administration
and the authors continue to treat it as an unassailable--and
useful--fact. The authors also charge alleged 'dirty bomber'
Jose Padilla is an Islamic terrorist, yet despite his ongoing
incarceration as an 'enemy combatant' and not being charged with
a crime in over two years, this has never been confirmed reliably
from multiple sources.
The book maintains the Bush Administration's
mantra for pre-emptively invading Iraq in discussing how to handle
North Korea's nuclear program: we know where some of them are
(and should bomb them) even though there are probably others
that we don't know about but will bomb eventually; just sit back
and trust us to do what's best for the country--we've got the
best intelligence information around. In other words, the authors
believe that the best way to deal with rogue states' nuclear
capabilities is the equivalent of playing whack-a-mole at Chuck
E. Cheese despite whatever intelligence (or lack thereof) is
known about the target. And, in justifying the need for war,
recent history shows that if the facts aren't there to the President's
liking, it's perfectly acceptable for his supporters to invent
them.
In describing how to deal with Iran,
those advocating a firm foreign policy (e.g., the Bush Administration
and the neo-conservative movement) are accused of "letting
ideology prevail over common sense" and that it's the "soft-liners"
(e.g., Democrats and anyone opposed to the neo-conservative agenda)
demonstrating a delusional example of ideology running "roughshod
over the facts" in formulating effective foreign policy.
It seems that Perle and Frum are not without humor, especially
given their defense of the secretive Office of Special Plans
at the Pentagon that, despite the authors' defenses, is known
to have tailored objective intelligence community reports and
analysis to fit the Administration's desired policy goals for
going to war in Iraq. Further, the authors treat Iraqi exile
Ahmed Chalabi--on whose information much of the Iraq planning
was based--as the ideal future leader of Iraq despite his current
status as a wanted fugitive in Jordan, questionable business
activities, and the fact that most of his post-war predictions
(e.g., "they'll greet Americans as liberators") are
proving shockingly inaccurate.
Such uses of selective facts--and selective
memory--continues throughout the book. The authors believe that
foreign governments colluding with terror should feel the "full
rigor" of the Bush proclamation that "you're either
with us or with the terrorists." Yet they forget that in
prosecuting America's war on terror, America has teamed up with
less-than-savory states (most recently in Central Asia and the
Pacific Rim) routinely engaged in terror-like domestic abuses
that, had such states not been convenient (and willing) to host
military forces and support America's terror war, likely would
be on the Administration's terrorism hit list. History shows
that America has repeatedly tolerated and/or done business with
tyrants and dictators to support its interests (including the
now-famous meeting between Saddam Hussein and Donald Rumsfeld
in the 1980s when America was supporting Iraq during the Iran-Iraq
war.) Unfortunately, in their zeal to present their ideological
position on foreign policy, the authors are quick to point out
the dangers of hypocrisy in every other nation but our own, as
doing so quickly undermines much of the neo-conservative philosophy.
Regarding domestic issues, when it comes
to protecting the homeland, the authors contend that the federal
government can do no wrong. Those opposing or challenging new
federal homeland security laws simply are uninformed or part
of the political minority. Perle and Frum are astonished that
the American public (and a large bipartisan segment of Congress)
was outraged at Attorney General Ashcroft's "Operation TIPS"
program that would turn taxi and truck drivers, warehousemen,
cable and phone repairmen, garbagemen, and other omnipresent
utility workers into domestic spies, both on the street and inside
private homes. (The proposal soon was made illegal by Congress.)
We are now seeing a similar concern over privacy issues with
the upcoming release of CAPPS-II passenger screening systems
and other homeland security-oriented databases.
The authors condemn New York City Mayor
Bloomberg's orders to city employees directing them not to cooperate
with federal requests for assistance on immigration (now homeland
security) investigations and joining hundreds of other local
jurisdictions and many states challenging and curtailing what
they believe is an over-reaching federal mandate that can be
easily abused. They were right to do so if not downright prophetic
-- a Department of Justice Inspector General study conducted
in 2003 revealed that the USA PATRIOT Act--perhaps the most controversial
new federal law pertaining to homeland security--was used repeatedly
for non-terrorism-related cases! (Perle and Frum overlooked this
small and inconvenient fact, too.)
Never afraid to blithely pontificate
despite the presence of reality, Perle discusses the rotating-door
nature of foreign government lobbying in Washington; namely that
senior acting US government officials are courted by foreign
governments (he uses Saudi Arabia as an example) who then retire
from public service into lucrative lobbying deals against the
government they just served. Perle criticizes this inherent and
shady conflict of interest practice yet fails to mention his
own checkered past as a paid-for lobbyist working for foreign
powers like China or for large defense contractors seeking lucrative
Pentagon deals. A devout Reaganite, he continues believing that
"facts are stupid things" and if so, can be casually
ignored when necessary (Sadly, despite his numerous television
interviews espousing the views contained in his book and by the
Administration, he's never had to defend his dealings in any
serious manner.)
The authors' disdain for the State Department
clearly is evident throughout the latter parts of the book. Whether
true or not, they present a picture of Bush Administration foreign
service officers repeatedly conspiring to undermine Presidential
policies for institutional gain that borders on treason. While
the State Department certainly could stand to be reformed--even
in some ways according to Perle and Frum's proposal--their remarks
serve more as a platform for political sniping at the agency
and its career personnel and contempt for its current Bush-appointed
leadership than anything else. Despite the fact that many ambassadors
and senior department leadership are political appointees, the
authors would prefer more such appointees (read: unthinking "yes-men")
doing whatever the President requests -- hopefully without undertaking
those thorough, objective, and sometimes-dissenting analysis
of major policy initiatives that by definition is the Department's
responsibility to conduct in the best interest of the United
States.
These are just a few examples of the
skewed and politicized analysis presented in "An End To
Evil" -- that unfortunately overshadow the periodic nuggets
of useful, reality-based analysis and discussion in its pages.
However, despite its glaring partisanship and selective use of
facts and memory, this book should be considered a readable (if
not very disturbing) precis of the Bush Administration's foreign
policy agenda in 2004 as seen from two people who hold the ear
of the current President. Although devoid of any overall objectivity,
it serves as a valuable resource for those wishing to understand
the ideological neo-conservative perspective and dogmatic groupthink
driving America into the near future -- and into an international
environment that unfortunately seems to be hurting our great
nation more than helping it.
