Since 2001; the United States has endured a tumultuous period; one dominated by the 9/11 attacks and all that has followed: the war on terrorism; the Afghan and Iraqi campaigns; looming confrontations with known or suspected proliferators of weapons of mass destruction; and episodic explosions of mass violence in chronically unstable regions. In this second half of the decade; these and related strategic challenges will test the skill; tenacity; and imagination of the current and the next U.S. administration and the American public. How well these challenges are managed then; or mastered; will greatly influence whether future historians look back upon this decade as a dangerous passage toward a more peaceful; globally connected order or as a descending path into an ever more fragmented; violent world.This volume explores seven looming; as yet unmastered strategic challenges facing the United States. Each chapter tackles one of the following challenges: tackling global terrorism; stopping WMD proliferation; undertaking defense transformation; protecting the homeland; strengthening relations with allies and partners; engaging other major powers; and defusing conflicts in unstable regions. Each chapter takes a similar approach: defining the problem at hand (i.e.; a short discussion of relevant trends); explicating current U.S. efforts to master the challenge (i.e.; U.S. objectives; methods; degree of success or setbacks); and analyzing looming choices that U.S. policymakers will face in the next decade and; as appropriate; the consequences of alternative courses of action. Strategic Challenges capitalizes on the great regional and topical expertise of the INSS professional research staff to present an authoritative overview of the global strategic environment facing the United States.

I use for my cenacle class as well as when I find myself speaking to others; I refer to her entries to enlighten on topics that some may question or have doubts on. Ex: confession; obedience; Although brief in comment; in my instances; theses small entries were enough to have the persons continue to seek more in their spiritual journey. I pray that St. Faustina will be declared a Doctor of the Church.
