The Democratic debates were encouraging but it was
somewhat disappointing in that in the initial question to each candidate regarding
their top three priorities upon entering the White-house, not one of them mentioned any action related to national security. One exception was Governor,
O’Malley’s challenge regarding renewable energy but I'm not sure how many people would hear it that way.
Until Americans automatically understand
that real national security isn’t a function of military power, but rather a
function of global justice for all people and our environmental life support
system, we will never know real security and our freedoms and prosperity will
continue to dwindle. Traditional national security issues were covered relatively during the last 26 minutes of the debate, but there was no mention from what I remember of them being addressed within the context of global justice. That's a huge error considering the conclusion of the report titled “
Confronting the Crisis on Global Governance”
by the
Commission on Global Security, Justice and Governance (co-chaired by
former US Secretary of State Madeline Albright and former UN Under-Secretary
General for Political Affairs, Ibrahim Gambari
) . Commission website:
