Politico published a story yesterday with some encouraging news that the Biden administration is interested in repealing existing authorizations for the use of military force (AUMF) and creating a “narrow and specific framework” to govern U.S. military actions against foreign terrorist groups. Repealing the 2001 and 2002 AUMFs is certainly the right thing to do, but it would be a serious mistake for Congress to pass a replacement for them. If we wish to end endless war, we have to stop fighting it, and that means recognizing the essential futility of the “war on terror” itself.
Great article. In general, how do you expect the Biden admin to compare to trump on foreign policy? I guess more dovish on Iran and maybe more hawkish on Syria? Which do you prefer — I know you don’t like either
