Chapter III. Strengthen Alliances to Defeat Global Terrorism & Work to Prevent Attacks
Section A. Summary of National Security Strategy 2002
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Defeating terrorism requires a long-term strategy and a break with old patterns. We are
fighting a new enemy with global reach. The United States can no longer simply rely on
deterrence to keep the terrorists at bay or defensive measures to thwart them at the last
moment. The fight must be taken to the enemy, to keep them on the run. To succeed in
our own efforts, we need the support and concerted action of friends and allies. We must
join with others to deny the terrorists what they need to survive: safe haven, financial
support, and the support and protection that certain nation-states historically have given
them.
