The National Security Strategy of The United States of America

Cultural Writing. As required by section 108 of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended (50 U.S.C. 404a), this policy report was prepared by the Bush Administration and released to the Congress of the United States on September 19, 2002. It is our [Winterhouse Editions'] belief that the policies outlined in this report will have a far-reaching impact not only on American life, but on the coming course of world events. In a democracy such as ours, participating in public and critical discourse about the course of our society's future is both an inalienable right and a necessary responsibility of every citizen. Without discussion, no society can achieve a consensus on its future direction.
