We must respond to acts of terrorism, but before we respond hastily with hostility to further perpetuate an endless cycle of violence, we must be willing to ask ourselves the sources of our enemies’ hatred—the root of the problem—which we must honestly deal with in order to respond correctly to transform the world in which we live to be a safer more tolerant place for posterity. Michael Posner (executive director of Human Rights First) wisely said, “If we are going to transform the Middle East, we have to be law-abiding and uphold the values we want them to embrace – otherwise it is not going to work.” American values are better upheld and democracy furthered globally when the U.S. behaves abroad as it expects its citizens to behave at home, respectfully engaging the international community through diplomacy, using economic sanctions to provide incentives for compliance, and resorting to military force only when national security is endangered. Covert action however can wreck democratic processes at home and abroad. Former CIA agent James Angleton came to the conclusion before his death that the CIA was its own worst enemy and thereby the enemy of the country as it spread a culture alien to American character.
