Great power and great wealth are a responsibility. We are the only superpower in the world at the moment. We have the responsibility to protect those assets so that they are not squandered, pilfered, or seized. We also have a responsibility to make use of the power and wealth we have obtained in beneficial ways. At the policy level it is pretty much a forced choice to use it or lose it, use it in constructive and beneficial ways or in a destructive and rapacious manner. It is, therefore, important that we consider those responsibilities as well as our limits to engage constructively in the affairs of others. Intervention is one thing, occupation and conquering is quite another. It seems constructive to have a policy of intervention when and where we can determine the beneficial aspects of such conduct. We also need to consider liberal innovations as alternatives to military interventions. The globe is shrinking and we need to learn and employ some new forms of communication to organize our efforts to modernize globally.
