America Is The Number One Superpower Today

I Have No Patience For Those In The American Jewish Community Who Just Go Around Slandering People As Anti-semites Without Realizing That What They're Doing Is Really Trivializing Anti-semitism.

Our World Is Integrated To An Unprecedented Degree, While The Global Political Awakening Is Injecting Into Interstate Relations An Intense Amount Of Tension, Emotion, Even Irrationality, Which Could Cumulatively Produce Circumstances That Preclude An Effective And Genuinely Shared Universal Response To New Global Problems.

The Political Awakening That Is Happening Worldwide Is A Major Challenge For America, Because It Means That The World Is Much More Restless. It's Stirring. It Has Aspirations Which Are Not Easily Satisfied. And If America Is To Lead, It Has To Relate Itself Somehow To These New, Lively, Intense Political Aspirations, Which Make Our Age So Different From Even The Recent Past.

Once The Eastern Bloc Collapsed, What I Call 'historical Spontaneity' Prevailed And The Countries That Were Subject To Soviet Control Naturally Gravitated To The West. That's Where They Sought Their Security; I Don't Think There Was A Way To Avoid That. If We Tried To Exclude Them, We Would Have Today Not One Europe, We Would Have Three Europes: One In The West, One In The Middle And One In The East, And The Middle Would Be Insecure And A Tempting Target. The Insecurity Felt [today] By Eastern Europe Would Be Replicated On A Much Larger And More Consequential Scale.
