The states that established NATO in 1949 confronted a common threat to their survival. The Alliance has endeavored to identify a new raison d'etre since 1991, but no unifying set of priorities has surfaced. Though dangers to Western security have emerged--the rise of Al Qaeda arguably the most significant--these threats have not unified NATO. In the absence of a menace to their vital interests, and with fundamental policy differences dividing North America and Europe, NATO is succumbing to the pressure of the times. |
