It’s a duty, one we accept confidently and gratefully, and it’s a President’s duty as well. Over the past 10 years, our country has paid a high price to preserve freedom and liberty. The next 10 years will present more choices, more challenges. If this is going to be another American century, we must match the vigilance of those on the front lines of the mission of freedom: our servicemembers, intelligence professionals, diplomats, and their families. Let us stand with those who stand up to tyranny and aggression. Because if America won’t lead the way, who will?Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:23:00 -0500{58E13828-AC54-4275-B2F4-B5152E28C4BC}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/reports/2012/01/top-five-defense-moves-for-2012James Jay Carafano, Ph.D.Congress and the White House should be making bold moves to restore America's capacity to protect itself.Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:53:00 -0500{F3987F91-32DE-49DD-839F-7B5D6FE656F5}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/reports/2011/12/seeking-the-right-balance-in-us-russia-missile-defense-cooperationBaker SpringThe U.S. and Russia should move toward more defensive strategic postures independently but in the spirit of cooperation.Wed, 07 Dec 2011 12:34:00 -0500{F8795465-2D74-4C64-A4F5-1EB030736AC1}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/reports/2011/12/north-korean-missiles-are-growing-risk-to-the-usBruce Klingner, Baker SpringDespite the increasing North Korean missile threat, the Obama Administration has reduced funding for several missile defense programs.

These include sea-lane security, counterterrorism, nonproliferation, and disaster relief. A formal trilateral dialogue gives these three countries an opportunity to understand and act together to address current and future challenges more effectively. Such an attempt to arrive at a mutual understanding of each others’ concerns will help promote the Indo–Pacific as an area conducive to economic and political stability, security, free and open trade, and democratic governance.Thu, 03 Nov 2011 20:56:00 -0400{AB94C225-F72C-4051-86A9-30766EBB270D}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/reports/2011/11/3-step-plan-for-us-missile-defense-systemBaker Spring, Michaela BendikovaThe most effective missile defense is the capability to reduce and eliminate the likelihood of a successful attack on the U.S. and its allies.Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:17:00 -0400{0859B5BF-EF17-4628-B4E5-B71ACBDB925D}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/commentary/2011/10/obamas-missing-defense-wont-replace-missile-defenseJames Jay Carafano, Ph.D.Presidential candidate Barack Obama argued in 2008 for "proven and cost effective" missile defense.
