...Imagining a New NATO In Light of the Global Threat of Terrorism, Walter Isaacson asked, "What would George Marshall and Dean Acheson be doing now?" [Feb. 5]. Isaacson suggested that they might be forging a Mideast Antiterrorism Organization (MATO) whose members would include Israel and Iraq. I doubt it. I rather suspect that Marshall and Acheson would be saying they told us so. Both men were vehemently opposed to the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine because they recognized that it was immoral and that it would open up a can of worms that would haunt the region...

Restoring U.S. prestige will involve the kind of trade-offs between interests and ideals that she and Bush have so far been reluctant to make--but that are the stock-in-trade of successful U.S. diplomacy. Given the limited...

...faced with a new global threat, that of terrorism from Islamist extremists, we could sure use some of that type of creative and bold thinking. What would George Marshall and Dean Acheson be doing now? At the top of their list, I suspect, would be forging a new version of NATO. They might call it MATO: the Mideast Antiterrorism Organization, a military, police, intelligence and security mutual-defense alliance between the West and our moderate allies in the Middle East...

...what would Marshall and Acheson do? They probably would have created, in addition to a NATO-like antiterrorism alliance, a worldwide coalition of true and free democracies, ranging from India to Turkey to Israel. This Concert of Democracies could work on ways to nurture and support our common ideals, even as the new antiterrorism military alliance could be used to protect our security interests. Washington could use both instruments, just as it now uses both NATO and the U.N., depending on the situation...
