Breaking the personnel, financial, and ideological links will require fighting terrorism on three fronts: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Britain. In Afghanistan, the U.S., the U.K., and their allies need to continue to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda. They should also hold Pakistan accountable for its failure to act decisively against terrorism. In Britain, the government needs to enforce the tightened immigration and asylum practices, refuse to cooperate with radical Islamism, and promote citizenship and economic opportunity to help immigrants assimilate into British society. http://www.heritage.org/Research/NationalSecurity/bg2337.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Ted R.

Concerns abound about the legislation's adverse economic consequences, and there is skepticism of its affects on world climate trends. I will focus my analysis and observations on the national security implications of attempting to address climate change through a framework established by national legislation. http://www.heritage.org/Research/EnergyandEnvironment/tst102709a.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James Jay Carafano, Ph.

Because al-Qaeda's strategy relies partly on using European nationals to carry out attacks against the United States, the rise of Islamist terrorism in Britain and Europe poses a serious danger to the U.S. and its allies in Europe and around the world. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/bg2329.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Ted R.

Roberts Defense Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:11:02 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/ForeignAid/wm2659.cfm When campaigning for President, Barack Obama understood the necessity of a strategy for success in Afghanistan. On March 27, 2009, as President, he announced his intention to keep this promise, saying "the safety of the world is at stake." But now, it appears his focus is shifting and Vice President Biden, who opposed the successful surge in Iraq, is also opposing a surge in Afghanistan. http://www.heritage.org/Press/FactSheet/fs0041.cfm The Heritage Foundation - heritage.org Defense Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:23:02 EST http://www.heritage.org/Press/FactSheet/fs0041.cfm The Senate's version of the 2010 defense appropriations bill provides the funds necessary to meet the needs of America’s military. http://www.heritage.org/Research/NationalSecurity/wm2633.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Mackenzie M.
