Presents recommendations for the US government to manage the aftermath of its military interventions in foreign countries. The inability of the US government's current structure & qualified individuals to manage postintervention situations is problematic. As an alternative to military intervention, the creation of a US government department composed of trained & financed experts to establish stability in political chaos is advocated. A plan for its establishment is sketched, including the appointment of a czar, creation of a research institute, & enhanced funding mechanisms for these types of nonmilitary efforts. Without the ability to foster & sustain peace following military intervention, these US foreign policy initiatives are regarded as unsuccessful. L. Collins
