Before Sept. 11, 2001, it would have been difficult to speak meaningfully about a ''neoconservative foreign policy.'' While there was a group of intellectuals and policy experts who were identified -- sometimes self-identified -- by the neoconservative label, they did not agree on foreign policy. Today a cardinal feature of neoconservative foreign policy is the aggressive use of American power to dislodge dictators and promote democracy.
[...]
Sept. 11 changed all that. It is now possible to describe a neoconservative foreign policy, and David Frum and Richard Perle's new book, ''An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror,'' is a useful guide to it. There have been many books written by neoconservatives on aspects of the war on terror, but because of the identity of the authors, the scope of the book and the vigor of argumentation, this one deserves special attention.
Perle, a colorful and controversial official in the Reagan administration -- nicknamed the Prince of Darkness -- has been enjoying a revival of fame since 9/11, because he is widely seen as a proxy for key members of the Bush administration. Frum, a former Bush speechwriter, is the author of a bestselling White House memoir[....]
The central substantive argument of ''An End to Evil'' is that the war on terror has only begun, that Islamic militants are dead set against the United States and will try to cripple it by any means possible. The authors see the war as an endeavor of decades that will require strenuous efforts on three fronts -- at home, abroad and in the world of ideas.
On the home front, they make a series of suggestions, ranging from tougher evaluations of visa applications to the creation of a national identity card to close monitoring of American organizations that, while masquerading as mainstream Islamic groups, in fact provide aid to terror organizations. Beyond our borders, the authors propose tackling the five regimes that have been most closely connected to terrorism -- North Korea, Iran, Syria, Libya and Saudi Arabia. The basic thrust of their argument is that the United States should get tough with these countries.
On the ideological front, Frum and Perle urge a battle against radical Islam, support for moderate Muslims and, in particular, the promotion of women's rights. They urge zero tolerance for the Saudi export of fundamentalism, and propose financing progressive and modern Islamic education as an alternative to madrassas. Above all, they want to make a success of Iraqi democracy. [end]
