Brahma Chellaney’s call for review of strategic thinking
in the West
Chellaney wisely notes:
“More important,
they [the West] should recognize that the war on terror cannot credibly be
fought with unsavory allies, such as Islamist fighters or
fundamentalist-financing sheikhdoms. The risk of adverse unintended
consequences – whether terrorist blowback, as in Paris, or military spillovers,
as in Syria – is unjustifiably high.”
