From the Paper:

"Foreign policy reflects an attempt to coexist within the boundaries of civilized reality; however, the divided interpretations of what civilized reality truly means have often clouded the very essence behind the concept of foreign policy. When the established policy does not provide for friendly relations, then the only alternative arrangement finds that the parties involved are struggling to overpower each other in an attempt to either acquire or maintain political superiority. After the September 11 attacks upon the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Americans are wondering if the US foreign policy in the Middle East is in need of radical modification or whether the present policy should hold firm. "Now more than ever, timely, detailed analysis of the changing foreign policy and security environments of Central Asia and the Middle East is essential to American security policy" (Eurasia Program)."
