The "war on terror" and the battle in Iraq provided the
framework for George W. Bush’s first term in office. As he
embarked on a second term, the president reaffirmed his
administration’s commitment to a transformative Middle East
agenda that now includes the challenges of promoting
democracy, non-proliferation, and Israeli-Palestinian peace.
The Saban Center at the Brookings Institution commissioned a
group of its experts to critique the Bush administration’s
first-term performance and present alternative approaches
for its second term. The Road Ahead covers the full set of challenges confronting
President Bush in his second term: from fighting Binladenism
to promoting Arab reform; from achieving Middle East peace
to saving Iraq; and from tackling Iran to engaging Syria and
Saudi Arabia. The contributors argue that the Bush
administration will need to develop an integrated Middle
East strategy that improves the prospects for achieving a
priority identified during the 2004 presidential campaign:
strengthening alliances and utilizing them to ease the
burden on American leadership. The Road Ahead provides the necessary elements for a
genuinely integrated strategic framework that will help
decisionmakers manage both the changes and the continuities
in America’s post-9/11 Middle East policy. Contributors: Martin Indyk, Flynt Leverett, Kenneth Pollack,
James Steinberg, Shibley Telhami, and Tamara Cofman Wittes,
all connected with the Saban Center at the Brookings
Institution.
