Summary "National Strategy for Combating Terrorism" is a governmental publication produced under the leadership of President George W. Bush, released in February 2003. This strategic document outlines the framework and objectives for the United States' approach to counterterrorism in the early 21st century, focusing on the post-September 11 landscape of global terrorism. The book serves as a crucial guide in detailing the U.S. response to a complex and evolving threat, situated within a broader context of international relations and national security strategies. The document emphasizes a multifaceted strategy termed the "4D strategy" — Defeat, Deny, Diminish, and Defend — which collectively aims to address the challenge posed by terrorist organizations worldwide. It outlines goals such as defeating terrorist entities, denying them support, diminishing the conditions that foster terrorism, and defending American citizens and interests both domestically and abroad. The text analyzes the shared characteristics of terrorist groups, highlights the impact of modern technology on their operations, and stresses the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism. Ultimately, it insists that the fight against terrorism is essential not only for U.S. security but also for the promotion of democracy and human rights globally, presenting a call to action for both the government and international partners.
