The Perils of Prediction and Unpreparedness in Building the Future Force
By Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
(Heritage Lecture #1131)
America can afford to pay more for defense, but we need to be more modest in our strategic assumptions and build that modesty into both our military strategy and our force posture and modernization programs. If done right, sound strategic analysis, which accepts the reality of uncertainty as well as the need for developing certain long-range capabilities, can be mindful of cost.

What Americans Need to Know About Missile Defense: We're Not There Yet
By Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D., James Jay Carafano, Ph.D., Peter Brookes, and Baker Spring
(WebMemo #2512)
President Obama is cutting missile defense spending by over $1 billion. This makes no sense at the same time that North Korea is testing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to deliver them and when Iran may be just one year away from producing its first nuclear weapon. Washington's reluctance to pursue missile defense makes little sense because Americans overwhelmingly support missile defense. The problem is that too many of us still think we already have all we need. We don't.

Sustaining American Leadership with Military Power

Obama's 100 Days in Foreign Policy: Triumph of the Personal
By Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
(WebMemo #2413)
In his first 100 days in office, President Barack Obama completed two whirlwind tours of Europe and Latin America. His message on both continents was simple: America has made many mistakes in the past, but we're ready now to listen to others and be more flexible. It was a hugely popular message that brought him thunderous applause, particularly when he criticized or apologized for America-to an extent that no other sitting American President had done before on foreign soil.

Time for a New International Game Plan
By Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
(Backgrounder #2231)
The United States cannot remain a global leader unless it modernizes its alliances and international associations. America needs international institutions, alliances, and a multilateral diplomacy worthy of a great power that is dedicated to the advancement of freedom and security. It is time to create a Global Freedom Coalition, a Global Economic Freedom Forum, and a Liberty Forum for Human Rights.

Reflecting on 9/11: What the Next Administration Should Do About Terrorism
By Kim Holmes
(WebMemo #2061)
There are certain enduring truths or facts about fighting terrorism that will persist regardless of who becomes president or what the candidates have said during their campaigns. Indeed, rhetoric of late leaves the impression that there are two radically different paths to fighting terrorists. While such differences do exist, these distinctions are not as radically divergent as some believe. Indeed, for either path to be effective, several approaches must be preserved.

Exploring Concepts of Liberty in Islam
By Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
(Heritage Lecture #1097)
The Heritage Foundation has established a long-term project to explore the question of whether the ideas and practice of Islam are compatible with Western notions of liberty—such as individual liberty, religious liberty and tolerance, and minority rights. The answers to some key questions that can act, perhaps, as benchmarks for people living in Muslim societies and states for how they would relate to the issue of liberty and freedom.

Economic Freedom as a Human Right
By Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
(Heritage Lecture #1094)
Economic freedom is more than a path to prosperity. It also is a condition that opens up opportunities to enjoy freedom in the largest sense of the word-both politically and socially. We should never entrust the United Nations or an international court with the important task of safeguarding our rights and liberties, much less with attempting to create new ones.

Just War and Endgame Objectives in Iraq
By Joseph Capizzi, Ph.D., and Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
(Heritage Lecture #1081)
The just war theory connects the use of military force to politics, reminding statesmen that war and politics serve the same goals—namely, justice, order, and peace. Every activity within war must be scrutinized for its capacity to create a more just reorganization of power. Robust analysis should attend not only to questions about whether war is justified, but also to broader political questions about the dynamics that lead to war and strategies for achieving peace.

Liberty's Best Hope: Why American Leadership Is Needed for the 21st Century
By Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D., Henry R. Nau, Ph.D., and Dov Zakheim, Ph.D.
(Heritage Lecture #1069)
To counter the challenges to America's leadership at home and abroad, even by long-standing allies, we must be more persuasive, win the war on terrorism and the war of ideas, work to reshape the international system, invest in a strong national defense, keep our economy on top, get our own house in order, and, most important, put the advancement of liberty back at the center of foreign policy.

Twelve Principles to Guide U.S. Energy Policy
By Stuart M. Butler, Ph.D., and Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
(Backgrounder #2046)
The best way to facilitate access to oil and gas and foster new alternatives that work for the U.S. economy while addressing homeland and national security concerns is to focus on policies that help America to achieve three overarching goals: unleashing the power of free enterprise, protecting the nation's energy interests, and advancing free global energy markets.

From Tragedy to Triumph: Principled Solutions for Rebuilding Lives and Communities
By Edwin Meese III, Stuart M. Butler, and Kim R. Holmes
(Special Report #05)
As Congress and the nation work to rebuild shattered lives and destroyed neighborhoods and businesses after the Katrina disaster, the need to take action swiftly must not lead to steps that cause dollars to be used inefficiently or to unwise decisions that frustrate long-term success. In addition, because the homeland security grant system and the billions given to state and local governments and to the private sector have not improved the nation's capacity to respond to catastrophic disasters, the Administration needs the authority and organization to build an effective national response system that can be quickly activated for such devastating disasters.

Threats and Opportunities in the World
By The Honorable Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
(Heritage Lecture #833)
America must be vigilant against the physical threats posed by terrorists, but also against the moral and political ones. The war on terrorism is as much a war of ideas and morale as it is one of rockets, bombs, and suicide bombers, and it is on the ideas-and-morale front that this war will be won or lost.

Promoting Economic Freedom at the United Nations
By The Honorable Kim R. Holmes
(Heritage Lecture #823)
The U.N.'s credibility and effectiveness in reducing poverty and promoting economic development are at stake, but what really matters are the lives of millions around the world for whom economic freedom offers the best hope for a more productive life and the dignity of self-reliance. An alliance that promotes that agenda would make the U.N.'s development work much more effective.

The changes in law contained in the Administration's anti-terrorist proposal would be a small price to pay to enhance the nation's capabilities to apprehend terrorists. Whatever limited sacrifice in privacy and privileges there may be in these proposed measures is small in comparison to the long-term risks posed to civil liberties by terrorism.

Miscalculating Engagement
By Kim R. Holmes
Direct diplomatic outreach to America's foes and rivals defines President Obama's foreign policy. It underpins everything from "resetting" relations with Russia to making concessions to Iran.

Ensuring a Legacy: Solidifying the Bush Doctrine
By Kim R. Holmes, Ph.D.
After September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush set forth on a revolutionary approach to U.S. foreign policy. There was a tremendous sense of urgency and an assumption that the old way of doing things had not worked. The strategy of pursuing stability and of slowly working problems through the half-measured process of multilateral diplomacy had not prevented a direct attack on American soil. New strategies and measures were needed to deal with a drastically new and different world. The president moved determinedly to topple the regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq, to aggressively challenge the rogue regimes of Iran and North Korea, to shift the focus of alliance policies toward Japan and Central and Eastern European countries, to expand the range of military, law enforcement and diplomatic activities to fight the war on terrorism, and finally to adopt his now-famous freedom and democracy agenda aimed (in large measure) at the Middle East.
