...terror can be ended. Although Osama bin Laden and those like him are evil men who are quite happy to kill innocent people, we in the so-called developed world have much to answer for. What is needed is a policy of helping underdeveloped nations help themselves. They should not be sold arms to suppress their own people or threaten their neighbors.

A swift and decisive military victory has provided an awesome demonstration of U.S. power and resolve, and struck down the traditional boast of Osama bin Laden's propagandists that the U.S. is afraid of a fight. Considerably less certain, however, are the prospects for a rapid postwar transition in which Iraq becomes the Arab world's first democracy with a prosperity and Western orientation Washington hopes will serve as a wakeup call to a deeply...
