Opinion/Editorial
Hoagland: For two years the United States has waged a furious campaign to put the
forces of terrorism on the defensive in the Middle East and Central Asia. The second
anniversary of 9/11 marks an appropriate moment for the Bush administration to
consolidate the gains it has achieved and mold them into a strategy of regional
containment http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57909-2003Sep10.html
