This publication argues that the US needs to adopt a more creative and cost-effective containment strategy to ensure regional security in the Middle East. The strategy could be a counterterrorism-centered one, a 'hands-on' one, or one that stresses cooperative security. Given the current state of the Middle East, the text's author recommends the latter option. The US, after all, 1) can't be nor should be the agent pushing for change in the region, and 2) can't address the area's security challenges all by itself.
