So the president has to reshape fundamental attitudes toward those norms, or we are going to have our hands tied by an antiquated institution [the traditional international system] that is not capable of defending us." - Richard Perle"American power should be used not just in the defense of American interests but
for the promotion of American principles." - William Kristol "The President of the United States, on issue after issue, has reflected the thinking of neoconservatives." - Richard Perle "It is time to stop pretending that Europeans and Americans share a common view of the world, or even that they occupy the same world." - Robert Kagan "Iraq is just one battle in a larger war, bringing down the regime in Iran is the central act, because Iran is the world's most dangerous terrorist country." - Michael Ledeen"On the outcome of the confrontation with Tehran, more than any other, rests the
future of the Bush Doctrine - and, quite possibly, the Bush presidency - and prospects for a safer world." - William Kristol "Republicans are good at wielding power, but they're not so wonderful when it comes to the more idealistic motives of liberal internationalism. The Democrats are better at liberal internationalism, but they're not so good at wielding power. I would say that if there were a Joe Lieberman/John McCain party, I'm in the Joe Lieberman/John McCain party." - Robert Kagan ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
