The February 22nd Security Policy Working Group event, "Home by Christmas? Near-term US Strategies for Exiting Iraq" took a look at the US position, and offered several possible solutions. James Galbraith, chair of EPS, cautioned against hasty withdrawal, which could lead to a calamatous collapse of order in Iraq. His remarks are available at http://www.epsusa.org/publications/newsnotes/2005/GalbraithIraq.pdf . Charles V. Peña, Director of Defense Studies at the Cato Institute, would like to see an almost immediate withdrawal of US troops. David Cortright, president of the Fourth Freedom Forum, outlined a hand-over of security responsibilities to the UN. Carl Conetta, co-director of the Project on Defense Alternatives, suggested that withdrawal would remove most of the impetus behind the insurgency. The event was broadcast live on C-Span, and can be viewed in their archives at http://www.c-span.org/VideoArchives.asp?CatCodePairs=Issue,DESE;&ArchiveDays=100&Page=6.

The EPS session on "The Costs of War" at the recent Eastern Economics Association meeting was a great success. Speaking to a standing-room-only crowd, Jurgen Brauer spoke about US Military Expenditure: Data, Models, Coefficients; David Gold addressed The Economics of Terrorism and Counterterrorism; and Lawrence Klein followed with The Macroeconomics of Preventive War: What Has Iraq Done to the US Economy?

Our Spring Newsletter should be in mailboxes soon. On the second anniversary of the beginning of active combat, this issue focuses on the war in Iraq. An article by James Galbraith discusses possible exit strategies. David Gold writes on the economics of terrorism. Basam Yousef presents a study on the economic policies of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). And we juxtapose graphs from Charles Pena of the Cato Institute's data on what the Iraqi people want from the US now, and a new study done by Steve Kull of the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA), on changes that Americans would make in the budget allocations if given a chance.

Joseph Stiglitz, writing in the Australian Financial Review, discusses the nomination process for the new head of the World Bank in Crucial Choice, Flawed Process. "The lives and well being of billions in the Third World depend on a global war on poverty. Choosing the right general in that war will not assure victory, but choosing the wrong one surely enhances the chances of failure." http://afr.com/articles/2005/03/09/1110316097453.html Joseph Stiglitz is a Nobel laureate in economics, professor of economics at Columbia University, a Trustee of EPS, and former chief economist and senior vice-president at the World Bank.

EPS member, Ahmad Faruqui, contributed the following article to the February RUSI Journal (Royal United Service Institute for Defense and Security Studies). Broadening American-Pakistani Ties "As the Bush administration begins its second term, it should seek to broaden American-Pakistani ties. In the first term, the relationship focused on a single dimension, which was fighting the war against the Taliban and Al Qa'ida. Given the pivotal nature of the Pakistani army in waging this war, the relationship centered heavily on the army chief who also serves as the president, General Pervez Musharraf. There are two problems with this approach. Firstly, such a policy reflects a unilateral focus on US priorities and clearly does not serve the long-term interests of Pakistan, which involve the development of democratic civilian institutions. Secondly, it is unclear whether it serves the long-term interests of the United States. The US cannot win the war on terror simply by disabling, arresting or killing terrorists. The US, working in concert with the government and people of Pakistan, has to address the process through which otherwise normal people become terrorists. It cannot hope to win the global war on terror simply by supporting the Pakistani military government. During its second term, the Bush administration should ensure that genuine democracy is restored in Pakistan in the year 2005. It should put pressure on Musharraf to hold elections to the national and provincial assemblies and begin the task of strengthening the country's civilian institutions." http://www.rusi.org/publications/journal/ref:P4214BB123CF0B/ |

True Majority has a great cartoon video that contrasts the military budget with education, healthcare and foreign aid spending, and addresses the problem, "But if we reduce the military budget, we would be vulnerable." The cartoon features Ben Cohen (founder of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream) using Oreo cookies (because he's a dessert guy) to represent each $10 billion of expenditure. http://go.truemajority.org/fun/

| EPS Security Policy Working Group
(SPWG) partners William D. Hartung and Frida Berrigan, of the Arms Trade
Resource Center, have released a new Fact Sheet: Militarization of US
Africa Policy, 2000 to 2005. The introduction, subtitled, Guns, Oil
and Terror, states, "In the wake of September 11th, and in keeping
with its interest in securing access to oil and other key natural resources,
the Bush administration has been rapidly expanding U.S. military involvement
in Africa.
"While most recent increases in US arms sales, aid, and military training in Africa have been justified as part of what the administration refers to as the 'Global War on Terrorism' (GWOT), oil has been a major factor in the administrations strategic calculations from the outset. In his first few months in office, President Bushs first Secretary of State, Colin Powell, stressed the need to improve relations with oil-producing nations like Nigeria and Angola. Similarly, the report of Vice-President Cheneys Energy Task Force stressed the importance of gaining and maintaining access to African oil resources, which US intelligence assessments expect to increase to as much as 25% of US oil imports by the year 2020. "Beyond oil, US military officials have cited 'a growing terrorist threat' in northern and sub-Saharan Africa to justify a program of stepped up military engagement in the region. General James Jones, head of the US European command, has suggested the need to create a 'family of bases' across Africa that would range from forward-operating locations, which would include an airfield and facilities to house 3,000 to 5,000 US military personnel, to 'bare-bones' bases that US Special Forces or Marines could 'land at and build up as the mission required.'"

| The results of a new poll of public
attitudes about federal spending policies, by Steve Kull of the Program
on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA), were released on March 7. The
poll analysis shows that the public would cut defense spending by about
one third, would also cut back in the supplemental authorization for operations
in Iraq and Afghanistan, would reduce the deficit, and would significantly
increase social spending in several areas. The study further shows that
the public would also roll back recent tax cuts for the very wealthy. The
poll and analysis can be found at http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/budget/030705/Report03_07_05.pdf.
A summary is at http://www.pipa.org/
At a briefing to release the poll results, held at the National Press Club, Lawrence Korb spoke about how the Pentagon could cut back by about $30 billion in cold war weapons. Robert Bixby, Executive Director of the Concord Coalition, discussed the fiscal crisis created by recent tax cuts.

| The Asian American Hotel Owner Association
(AAHOA), despite strong protests from several civil rights organizations
and the Coalition Against Genocide, is determined to honor Narendra Modi
at their annual convention in Fort Lauderdale, FL (March 22-24, 2005). Narendra
Modi was indicted by many international humanitarian organizations for perpetrating
a pogrom of mass murder, rape and arson against religious minorities in
Gujarat in 2002 while he was the Chief Minister of that state in India.
Even India's Supreme Court acknowledged his complicity in the pogrom against
minorities.
"It is a shame that an American business organization, motivated
by ethnic loyalty and greed, has decided to overlook heinous crimes against
humanity to honor him in exchange for investment opportunities in India.
It is particularly hard to imagine such callous institutions in our midst
even as we lecture the world on freedom, democracy and the rule of law.
The AAHOA is sending a signal that while the Bush administration is determined
to spread democracy, they are determined to do business with mass murderers
who have absolutely no regard for human life or rule of law." http://www.coalitionagainstgenocide.org/news/2005/mar/11.cp.genocide.php

EU's China Arms Policy Prompts Congressional Fears. The European Union is considering lifting an arms embargo against China. Individual member nations feel that opening their countries to further trade relations with China could benefit their economies. But some in the US feel that the move might threaten US security.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace announces the release of its report, Universal Compliance, A Strategy for Nuclear Security. The foundation of the strategy they recommend is that global security requires universal compliance with the norms and rules of a toughened nuclear non-proliferation policy. Compliance reflects a much-enhanced emphasis on enforcement over declarations of good intent. Universal means that non-proliferation norms and rules must be extended not just to treaty members but to all states (including the nuclear powers), and to individuals and corporations as well. More than one hundred detailed policy recommendations flow from this central theme. Twenty of them comprise a priority action agenda. Publication of the volume will launch a period of intensive work by senior Carnegie experts with officials around the world through and beyond the NPT Review Conference in spring 2005. They will be urging adoption of these important concepts as the Iranian and North Korean crises pose momentous challenges to global non-proliferation, and as the international community meets to review the implementation of the NPT in New York this May.

The Control Arms campaign is joining the Amnesty International campaign, Stop Violence Against Women, to promote policies to stop gun violence against women, both in conflict zones and in their own homes where women have the right to be safe. A new Control Arms campaign report, "The Impact of Guns on Womens Lives," was launched in Johannesburg, South Africa on March 7, 2005, just in time for International Womens Day (March 8).
Women are paying a heavy price for the unregulated trade in small arms. Of the estimated 650 million small arms in the world today, nearly 60 percent are in the hands of private individuals most of them men. The vast majority of those who make, sell, buy, own, use or misuse small arms are also men. Although most direct casualties are men, women suffer disproportionately from firearms violence, given that they are almost never the buyers, owners or users of such weapons.
The involvement of guns makes it far more likely that an attack will prove lethal. Research in the US shows that when guns are used in intimate partner violence, death is 12 times more likely to be the outcome than when other weapons are used. Women assaulted by their partners have a much better chance of survival if the attack is with a knife or other means, rather than a gun.
The report looks at the impact on women of guns in the home; in communities;
and during and after conflict. In each of these contexts it looks at violence
committed with guns against women, the role women play in gun use, the
necessity of involving women in peace processes and the wide range of
gun control measures adopted by governments around the world, usually
as a result of women spearheading campaigns against gun violence. In Canada
and Australia, where womens organizations were at the forefront
of successful campaigns to change national gun laws, the results have
included major reductions in the gun murder rate for women. You can read more about the campaign and download the report at http://www.amnesty.org/resources/flash/svaw/womenunderfire/eng/

Good news concerning Nepal: both India and the UK have suspended military aid to the Nepalese government. This was one of the demands made by Amnesty International after its Secretary General visited the country earlier this month. The US is also considering cutting the USD $1.5 million of military aid it provides Nepal, where 11,000 people have been killed in 9 years of conflict between the government and Maoist armed groups.

Political freedom is not a prerequisite for economic growth. Nor is it an impediment to development. But to delink democracy from economic growth indicates a limited understanding of human development. A society can't be summed up by its GDP figures. As Amartya Sen has argued, development has to be seen as a process of expanding the real freedoms that people enjoy. The most important of these is that of free speech. Democracy is the only political system that has free speech as its cornerstone. States that work within the framework of democracy are forced to opt for policies that address issues of equality and equity without ripping apart their social fabric. China, a socialist dictatorship, has sustained high growth for many years. But at what cost? Many million lives were lost when it embarked on the Great Leap Forward. India can't match China's spectacular achievements in human development. But it has endured the decades after Independence without widespread famines. From a food deficit country, it has managed to be self-sufficient without effecting large-scale damage on its people or ecology in comparison with China. The Indian experiment of addressing social and economic divides through democracy offers a better option to Third World nations that are not social or ethnic monoliths. A political system that provides space for dissent has a better chance of not just improving lives but also to do it in a sustainable manner.

The ECAAR Review 2003. Titled Conflict or Development?, this edition has a regional focus on Africa, the site of most of the world's current armed conflicts. In its pages some of the leading economists of the day analyze and reflect on the relationships among military spending, domestic and foreign policy, security, and human welfare. Features include country studies and sections on business and conflict and "Trends in World Military Expenditure."

Congress voted on March 16 to give the Bush administration the 82 billion
dollars it wants to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, 388 to
43. This brings to total cost of the Iraq war to 200 billion dollars.
Is this where you wanted your money to go (about $645 per person in the
U.S)? A further note on contacting your Representatives: There are five ways to contact Congress: personal visit, postal letter, phone, email, fax, and e-fax. Aside from personal visits, hand-written letters used to be the most effective. This is no longer true. Anthrax inspection now routinely delays such letters by at least a month. Getting a letter on actual paper, however, is still more effective than phone or email. Fax - especially e-fax - is currently the most effective way to contact Congress. Here's how to e-fax: Write or paste your customized message into the body of a new email message. Don't forget your name, address, etc! Then cut and paste the e-fax address into the TO: field. Send the email, and it will print out as a fax remotely. Example addresses: remote-printer.Senator_Schumer@12022281218.iddd.tpc.int; remote-printer.Representative_Bishop@12022253143.iddd.tpc.int.
