Born out of the ashes of World War II, the NATO alliance - for North Atlantic Treaty Organization - was a defensive pact created in 1949 by the nations that had destroyed Hitler's Third Reich, with one major exception: the Soviet Union. Resisting its postwar expansion became the focus of NATO's mission in Europe. But with its founding purpose made moot two decades ago, NATO is floundering - a fact long recognized but only pointed out in irrefutable detail last week by outgoing U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
When all was said and done, the primary objective of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization - NATO - which was created this week (April 4) in 1949, was to put American troops in Western Europe so the Soviet Union would not invade. In 1949, the Soviets had replaced Nazi Germany as the greatest threat to peace, having recently consolidated all of Eastern Europe behind an "Iron Curtain" of Soviet military, political and economic control.

In 1939, Albert Einstein drafted a short letter to Franklin Roosevelt advising the president that it was possible to generate huge amounts of explosive power from the atom. Six years later, two Japanese cities were laid waste by two atom bombs. The nuclear age had begun. No letter to the president may ever carry more impact than Einstein's. But that does not mean that there will never be any events with strategic consequences approaching what E=MC2 wrought. In fact, one may be underway today within NATO - the profound transformation of the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance Organization, born in 1949 to protect the West from the gathering danger of Soviet expansion.

OSAMA bin Laden's death was announced by the president on May 1, a date that once had worldwide significance on the revolutionary calendar of communism, which was America's absorbing national security preoccupation prior to Islamic terrorism. Times change. Barack Obama, in his pitch-perfect address informing the nation that bin Laden is as dead as communism - never mind the cadaverous Cuban and North Korean regimes - rightly stressed that this is "the most significant achievement to date" against al-Qaeda, but that it "does not mark the end of" our effort to defeat that amorphous entity. Perhaps, however, America can use this occasion to draw a deep breath and some pertinent conclusions.
