U.S. Southern Command and the Joint Interagency Task Force South Base Visit
While the U.S. Government has expended enormous political, economic and
military assets on the Middle East and Asia, benign neglect of South
and Central America and the Caribbean could find America losing her
neighbors economically to China and India, and politically to nations
such as Iran that have aligned with Cuba and Venezuela. A March 2008
JINSA visit to the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) located near Miami
and Joint-Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-S) in Key West focused on
the issues, challenges, successes and failures of U.S. foreign policy.
The program was organized and led by Admiral Leon "Bud" Edney, USN
(ret.), a member of JINSA's Board of Advisors.

Highlights include a dissection of the foreign policy approaches of the two candidates, and their potential impact on Israel by celebrated historian and author Michael Oren. Also, one of America's legendary soldiers and counter-terrorist experts, Lt. Gen. William "Jerry" Boykin, USA (ret.), explains Al Qaeda's Enduring Appeal. Other authors of note include Caroline Glick of The Jerusalem Post and David Wurmser, former Middle East advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney. America's first Secretary of Homeland Security, Gov. Tom Ridge, is the subject of this issue's "Perspective" interview.
