"Back on some pretty old patterns, our homes, our nation. All the things we believe in are in great danger. This danger has been created by the rulers of the Soviet Union. The future of civilization depends on what we do on what we do now. And in the months ahead. President Harry Truman addressed the nation in 1950. In the early days of the Cold War, where Truman saw the Red Menace of communism, Bush saw the specter of radical Islam. I think the biggest impact of 9 11 on US foreign policy and military policy is that it takes us back to an awful lot of familiar Leasing behaviors from the Cold War. Jacqueline Hazleton is a professor at the U. S. Naval War College, she says in the Cold War, there is this sense of an ideological struggle. It was us versus them. For the United States. There's this binary or bipolar approach to the world. The United States should go abroad to spread Western ideology as a way to ensure US security. And to resist communist ideology and world domination. Hazleton says this thinking led to a number of proxy wars after 9 11. The US didn't just go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. The American military bombed Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Libya Right now the U. S military has a presence in something like 85 countries. Andrew Base, Ceviche says This is because of another old habit. The belief in the transformational power of American military force Base. Ceviche is a former Army officer and now runs the Quincy Institute think tank in Washington. The impact of 9 11 was to remove any Residual hesitation to use force. So the global war on terrorism stemmed from a conviction that the time had come to put American military power to work. In the wake of the U. S withdrawal from Afghanistan. Many Americans are questioning these fundamental assumptions. Daniel Byman is a professor at Georgetown University. He says there have been many costs to these years of war costs and lives cost in dollars, but also opportunity costs. Certainly by focusing on terrorism, something's at least were reduced or Got less attention. Perhaps part of the reason the United States was slow to recognize how dangerous and aggressive Russia was becoming was because the U. S was focused on other parts of the world. And certainly the competition with China never escaped anyone's notice. But it did receive less attention because policymakers more often focused on other priorities. Still, Byman says, it's important to keep things in perspective. Much of the warrant here just to be clear, has actually succeeded. There has not been a catastrophic terrorist attack on the United States by a jihadist group like Al Qaeda since 9 11. So what now? Andrew Base ceviche, The former military officer says the U. S. Has an important decision to make either continue with old habits and assumptions or chart a new course. My think tank the Prince, the Institute for Responsible Statecraft. We exist to try to bring about that change. We exist because we believe that A foreign policy based on the principle of military restraint would actually serve the country much better and by restraint base of it says he's not talking about isolationism. We believe in the imperative of engagement. We just think that there are ways for us to engage the world better than the ways that we've been trying for the last, uh, you know a couple of decades, Joe Biden is defending his decision to pull out of Afghanistan. He says his administration's approach will be different and I've been clear. Human rights will be the center of our foreign policy. But the way to do that is not through endless military deployments, but through diplomacy, economic tools in real, rallying the rest of the world for support. But Biden has also been clear about something else. We will maintain the fight against terrorism, he said recently. In Afghanistan and other countries, it seems likely that U. S drone strikes will continue to target suspected terrorists. Thousands of US troops remain in the Middle East and Africa and Congress has provided the White House with open ended authority for the use of American military force. For the world. I'm Sarah Birnbaum. In the weeks that followed September 11th. Another series of attacks unfolded involving anthrax. The world's Elana Gordon reports that the legacy of the anthrax attacks reshaped biosecurity in ways that are still being felt now during the pandemic. Just days after 9 11 several letters containing anthrax spores. A deadly bacteria were dropped in the U. S mail now to the home front and those concerns over anthrax in Florida after one man died from the illness and his co worker was contaminated. The letters also arrived at media organizations Anthrax, another infection this time at NBC News in Rockefeller Plaza in D. C. Senator Tom Daschle's office was targeted. The U. S House of Representatives is closing offices.

"This is morning edition from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin and I'm Sarah McCammon. The Department of Homeland Security says the country faces ah heightened risk of attack by domestic extremists in the coming months. Such warnings have been rare in recent years. But DHS says the recent attack on the U. S Capitol may have emboldened radicals across the U. S for more. We're joined by NPR National Security correspondent Greg Marie. Hi, Greg. Hi, Sarah. So is the Department of Homeland Security, citing a specific threat here. No, they aren't. This bulletin doesn't name any individual or any group or any specific threat. It's a very generalized warning. It's clearly referring to the far right, though it doesn't mention anybody by name. There is this sense that there's an elevated threat for the next few months. It talks about domestic extremists who may be fueled by what they say is false narratives related to the election last November, the January 6th assault on the Capitol and even last week's presidential transition, and people may remember Homeland Security was known for its warnings. In the past those Color coded warnings about jihadist groups like Al Qaeda, for instance. But is this new to to warn about domestic far right groups? Yes, it really is. DHS was created after the 9 11 attacks almost 20 years ago, and those color coded warnings that were around for nearly a decade, they were often mocked. It was hard to understand. Is this an imminent threat? Should you avoid airports and and they faded away? Andre don't see a lot of these warnings anymore. But it really is unique and new here to see the government issuing a warning about the far right. President. Biden clearly believes that his predecessor, President Trump didn't deal with this and played it down despite mounting evidence. There was no strong public warning leading up to the January 6th events, and Biden clearly wants to get ahead of this. His homeland security nominee for secretary of that department, Alejandro New Yorkers hasn't been confirmed yet. But the Biden administration has already asked for DHS and FBI to have an intelligence assessment about this threat. And now we see this warning issued by DHS. Okay, So what do we know about what we should make of this morning? What did the general public think? So I spoke about this with Daniel Byman. He's a Georgetown University professor who studies terrorism. And he says the Biden administration is sending a message to several groups. It's telling law enforcement. This is going to be a priority is telling far right groups. They're going to be under scrutiny. But, he says it's also important to see this is a message to the public. It's a warning to the broader public. It's trying to say that this is a genuine threat on power with other forms of terrorism and is trying to say to do administration is going to upset not only jihadist terrorism by groups like Isis, we're just going to focus on a much wider range of domestic threats. There's been a growing number of arrests Greg since the January sex violence at the Capitol. How's the far right? Responding? Will on Social media. We see that there is a lot of talk that they know they're being watched. It may be a good time to be cautious and stay under the radar. Have been about 150 arrests related to the January 6th events and hundreds more cases or under investigation. Now we still have several 1000 National Guard forces in the D C area. They're expected to stay here through the Trump impeachment trial next month and maybe well into March just to make sure the atmosphere stays calm by Na really appears to be laying down a marker and declaring that this issue is going to be a priority throughout his entire tenure. That's NPR's Greg. Marie. Greg. Thanks so much for talking with us. My pleasure, sir. In a typical year, oil and gas pumped off federal land sends hundreds of millions of dollars to state and local governments in the rural West, where the federal government owns most of that land. So the Biden administration's new pause on oil and gas leasing on federal property is stirring up a lot of anxiety in those states. NPR's Kirk Siegler reports from a gas field near Pine Dale, Wyoming. After 15 years working in the oil patch Antonio McGann, you finally struck out on his own starting a small oil and gas servicing company in the pandemic hit, demand tanked and production ground nearly to a halt here in Wyoming's Jonah Field Right now, it's not much going on. You know, we've been working little hours. A lot of people lost their jobs like I want to go like a lot of people. Jonah was once one of the country's most prolific public lands, Gas fields, locals boasts proudly that this is where modern day fracking was born. A few years ago, this truck stop would have been humming today alone Semis gassing up Cafes deserted, frozen sign in the snow advertises a move in special at the vacant motel. Even before the pandemic, there was a blood and natural gas on the market, so companies were scaling. Back and now with the Biden administration's paws on new leases on federal grounds like this look, Gagne is worried that companies won't need contractors like him. Well, I hope they continue. Producing guys, you know, because we need guys for hitting and everything and people needs work, especially hearing where human while only 10% of the nation's oil and gas comes off federal land in Wyoming, it's hugely flip flopped. 90% of all the natural gas here is mined with leases from underneath public land. The state has already shed an estimated 6000 mining jobs in the past year. A recent University of Wyoming study forecasted that a federal leasing moratorium could cost local governments $300 million a year. We're looking at schools with no kids in him empty classrooms, teachers that don't have jobs because you can't hire teachers. If you don't have kids to teach. Joel Bosman is a commissioner and Sublette County. Almost all of its budget comes from taxes off the Jonah field, he said. As President. Biden's climate plan ignores communities like Hiss. We're worried about total devastation of our economy in this county, if if this is truly an indication of the direction he wants to go, which he has said it, Isse, But some here will tell you, Wyoming has had years to prepare for the eventuality of fossil fuels going away and little has been done.
