...None of those notions is new; all of them, indeed, have been discussed ad nauseam since the end of the Cold War. But Rasmussen seems to understand that if NATO does not act on such ideas soon, the irrelevance that has haunted it will become a reality. "The challenge," Rasmussen told TIME in his first sit-down interview since taking office, "is to transfer [those ideas] into political practice." (See pictures of The Cold War's Influence...
