Passage - I

As the forces of globalization change the economic, political, and social relationships between nations, the geographic bulwarks that America counted on to protect it are proving insufficient. Two oceans and two friendly neighbors may help protect a nation from invasion but do little to thwart terrorists. Advances in information technologies have, in essence, shrunk the distances between countries, allowing people to conduct business from anywhere on the globe. Such advances made it possible for the September 11 terrorists to coordinate the attack from various nations. Globalization has also led to an increase in tourism and travel, making it easier for terrorists to hide in host countries without drawing attention.

In addition to globalization, other changes have affected America’s security. With the Cold War over, America’s enemies have changed. Some of the most serious threats to national security are no longer established nation-states such as Russia but terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, the group responsible for the September 11 attacks. During the Cold War, security was in large part a matter of out-spending enemies on military hardware and sending American spies to the Kremlin. Such Cold War methods have proven ineffective in combating loosely organized terrorist groups scattered all over the globe. As became evident after September 11, the largest military in the world cannot prevent terrorists from flying commercial airplanes into buildings

Passage - II
As nuclear security becomes increasingly threatened, calls for more nuclear arms as well as calls for disarmament grow more vociferous. Many opponents of nuclear arms believe that the inherent risk of nuclear weapons—global annihilation—make the possession and use of these weapons immoral and indefensible. They assert that if countries persist in maintaining nuclear arsenals as a defense against growing nuclear threats, the world will actually be less safe. Nations that maintain a nuclear arsenal encourage others to develop nuclear weapons as a defense, abolitionists argue, which increases the likelihood that a mistaken or intentional deployment somewhere in the world will set off a sequence of retaliatory deployments that could eventually destroy the earth. The Goodpaster Committee for the Project on Eliminating Weapons of Mass Destruction asserts that “only [an international] policy aimed at steadily curbing global reliance on nuclear weapons . . . is likely to progressively eliminate nuclear dangers.”
