A proposal for containing "radical Islam"
In the Ideas section of today's Globe, Navy Commander Philip Kapusta and Marine Captain Donovan Campbell make a proposal for what they call "neocontainment." An excerpt:
"What we face today is not wholly novel: It is a war of ideas, mirroring the Cold War. Like the Communists, violent Islamic extremists are trying to spread a worldview that denigrates personal liberty and demands submission to a narrow ideology. And, as with the Cold War, it must be our goal to stop them. The United States should therefore adopt a new version of the policy that served us so well during that last long war: containment."
