Greed Didn't Work for Napoleon Chicago Boyz By Ginny on War and Peace A&L links to Frederick R. Kagan's "Power and Persuasion" in the Wilson Quarterly. Like most important balances (of tenderness, discipline & love in child raising or of customers, employees & profit in business), the one between the military, diplomacy & a certain humility in victory is obvious; nonetheless, finding the right proportions and being sure enough of those proportions - courageous enough - to persist is difficult. May we hope Bush is stubborn where it counts. If it achieves this balance, America's non-imperial imperialism will not be an oxymoron but a paradox. Keegan argues: For the United States, there is no path that will spare it criticism and even outright opposition, but its broad goals of spreading freedom and political reform are ones that a great many people in the Muslim world and beyond will be able to accept. The challenge is not only to continue balancing power and persuasion but also simply to continue-to persist in the face of adversity and despite arguments that the very exercise of power ensures that the United States will never persuade and never prevail.
