Jon Alterman, director of the CSIS Middle East Program, appeared on CNN's The Situation Room, "Umbrella of Deterrence."
JON ALTERMAN, CTR. FOR STRATEGIC & INTL. STUDIES: It seems to me U.S. policy is better served by supporting these countries, by indicating our support for them, but not putting ourselves into a corner that then we're going to find ourselves obligated to fight a war that, for any number of possible reasons, we might not want to fight.
