This period in our history is characterized by the growth of democracy in all areas of the world. There is understandable resistance to that trend on the part of those political, religious, and tribal forces whose power is thereby undermined. Terrorism is an extension of that resistance. The United States is a symbol of that democratic trend and the United Nations is the forum in which the political competition is taking place. To strengthen our resolve, our defenses, and our democratic commitment, the author calls for the American and international leadership to eliminate all nuclear weapons in the world and for a national resolve to establish a national voluntary Civilian Conservation Corps for 18- to 21-year-old men and women coupled with a new education incentive along the line of the Roosevelt GI Bill of Rights
