Description
A talk by Ira Chernus, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Colorado-Boulder on his book, Monsters to Destroy. In an ambitious effort to clarify a complicated issue, Ira Chernus tackles the question of why U.S. foreign policy aimed at building national strength and security has the paradoxical effect of making the country less safe and secure. His answer: The 'war on terror' is based not on realistic appraisals of the causes of conflict, but rather on 'stories' that neoconservative policymakers believe about human nature and a world divided between absolute good and absolute evil. From the World Beyond the Headlines Series.
