WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With President Bush's approval ratings in a swan dive, progressives -- for the first time since 9/11 changed U.S. politics -- finally have a chance to be heard on national security. What will they say? Instead of falling back on easy criticisms of the administration's blunders in Iraq, a new Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) book argues that progressives should seize the moment by proposing a comprehensive agenda for winning the war against jihadist terrorism -- an agenda rooted in the tough-minded, internationalist tradition of Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy.
The book, With All Our Might: A Progressive Strategy for Defeating Jihadism and Defending Liberty (Rowman & Littlefield), edited by PPI President Will Marshall, includes essays by 19 top Democratic foreign policy and national security experts. It was released at a National Press Club event on Tuesday, May 9, with featured speakers including Sen. Evan Bayh, former Gov. Mark Warner, and a panel of top Democratic foreign policy experts.
