| Description | U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Dick Lugar will tell graduates of the Fletcher School at Tufts University on Saturday that the U.S. has not made the commitment to stave off catastrophic terrorism.
“Unless the United States commits itself to a sustained program of repairing and building alliances, expanding trade, pursuing resolutions to regional conflicts, supporting democracy and development worldwide, and controlling weapons of mass destruction, we are likely to experience acts of catastrophic terrorism that would undermine our economy, damage our society, and kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people,” Lugar will say in a commencement speech tomorrow. Tufts will also present Lugar with his 38th honorary doctorate degree.
“The United States (is) in a position to determine whether the world advances or declines . . . (but has) yet to alter the status of foreign affairs as the neglected sibling of national security policy.”
