    About this ebook

    With no end to the War on Terror in sight, how do we plan for the future? Many recent books address facets of the "world crisis" of todayinternational relations, energy, poverty, and, of course, the Iraq War and Middle Eastern reconstructionbut they do not engage with the entire post-Iraq situation faced by the West, nor do they give suggestions for moving forward. The World Crisis, with essays by statesmen and thinkers from Jimmy Carter to Henry Kissinger, is a broad treatment of a massive set of problems. Nineteen "wise men" of immense experience in global politics (Nunn and Lugar, Freeman and Brzezinski, Heseltine and Carlucci, and more) tell us what to do next after the debacles of Western intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan have tested our faith in government. The essays in this book address the war, nuclear non-proliferation, Western dependence on Middle Eastern oil, global warming and the environment, humanitarian crises, inequality of wealth, Israel and Palestine, and emergent powers. The World Crisis is non-partisan; what unites these writers is that their eyes are open. In an election year, when the crucial issue dividing (or is it uniting?) the electorate is Iraq, clear vision is more important than ever.

      The real shocker of thisl little book, with invited essays from important Birts from the foreign service and such Americans as Jimmy Carter, Kissinger, Tom Nunn and Dick Lugar, really admit Iraq was a big mistake and dealing it and the bad name has given the US in the world are the talking points of the book. A real shocker,at least to me was the essay by Geoffrey Howe former Chancellor of the Exchequer.I must quote""After the war the United States was merciless in demanding the pound of financial flesh from the nearly bankrupt British economy, demanding payment in full for lend lease and percipating a rim on the pound , pouring scorn on the socialist post war Labour government and British imperialism" ...The US was ruthless in skkeingto strip the United Kingdom of its colonian possesions".p. 32A lot of Brit bashing, and truly nothing to address the subtitle ""The Way Forward after Iraq"
