Defending and advancing freedom: a symposium

In this symposium article, a group of leading thinkers address the following questions: (1) Where have you stood, and where do you now stand, in relation to the Bush Doctrine? Do you agree with the President's diagnosis of the threat we face and his prescription for dealing with it? (2) How would you rate the progress of the Bush Doctrine so far in making the U.S. more secure and in working toward a safer world environment? What about the policy's longer-range prospects? (3) Are there particular aspects of American policy, or of the administration's handling or explanation of it, that you would change immediately? (4) Apart from your view of the way the Bush Doctrine has been defined or implemented, do you agree with its expansive vision of America's world role and the moral responsibilities of American power?
