| The national security strategy (NSS), National Security Strategy for a New Century, published in December 1999, categorizes national interests as vital, important, and humanitarian and other interests. Although all three, as defined within the context of national interests, have relative merit for US national security, the classification of national interests is not necessary. The Bush administration should take this opportunity to formulate a coherent NSS that is based on the ... |
