Description

Editor's Note: American foreign policy must be based on American moral beliefs, yet it inevitably encounters problems in dealing with regions where belief systems are fundamentally different, such as the Middle East. Moreover, this essay argues, domestic political pressures based on moral and religious beliefs have divorced U.S. foreign policy from objective U.S. interests in the Middle East. The author believes that a more rational policy debate may at last be getting underway.--Ed. America faces some grim realities when it attempts to formulate foreign policy for regions in the world that cleave to belief systems that are radically different from our American moral and ethical foundation. The problems come in two different ways: First, for American foreign policy to be supported by Americans it must be consistent with our belief system. Second, once formulated and implemented, to be successful it must also be relevant to the beliefs of the region in which it is being implemented. When belief systems are radically different, these two realities are seldom compatible. This could not be more true than it is for American policy in the Middle East today.
