The National Security Strategy of 2002 argues that the US possesses unprecedented strength and influence in the world. It also acknowledges that this position comes with responsibilities, obligations, and opportunity. The strategy is based on a distinctly American internationalism that reflects the union of its values and national interests. The aim of this strategy is to help make the world not just safer but better. The goals on the path to progress are clear: political and economic freedom, peaceful relations with other states, and respect for human dignity.
