This was in The Guardian of all places. It's an Op-Ed by former heads of NATO, wherein they excoriate the current, feckless leadership of the organization and call for a revamping of it to respond to the current threats facing the West: http://www.guardian.co.uk/print/0,,332160591-111202,00.html.
I have long wondered what has become of NATO, which began as a military alliance to counter the Soviet threat, and has evolved over time into a Western global response team...........or so I thought. In reality, NATO is rarely willing to "stick its neck out" for anything or any reason, and many of its members seem unwilling to risk their soldiers getting hurt for any reason. If so, what's the point in being a member?
