US Grand Strategy

For those interested in an erudite discussion of US grand strategy and the hard choices that must be made (yes, currently we are "muddling through" by failing to committ to a single organizing principle--declaratory policy certainly does not match up well with actual policy implementation), check out Stephen Biddle's American Grand Strategy After 9/11: An Assessment. Biddle is a brilliant commentator on military affairs and the peice does a nice job of framing the question as one that is more political than analytical--a distinction rarely made by analysts. Check it out.
