NATO versus Terror

Former prime minister of Spain José María Aznar was featured in the Journal Op-Ed section* yesterday advocating for an aggressive change in focus for NATO. The highlight-reel quotes:

...terror has struck many of us: the US, Spain, Turkey, the UK, Russian, to name just the countries which are members of, or related to, NATO. [It must] accept that we hsare a new existential threat in the form of Islamist terror... [which] is global and multifaceted [and] requires a collective effort... Jihadism has replaced communism, as communism replaced Nazism, as a mortal danger, so NATO must put defense against [religious] terrorism at the center of its strategy... NATO must transform itself into an Alliance for Freedom, willing and able to collectively secure our liberties and democracies before it is too late.
