Perhaps the most articulate argument against the doctrine comes from Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter's National Security Adviser, who accuses it of fuelling anti-American sentiment and goes on to say: "I am a great supporter of American power.. But our power is not so enormous that we can afford progressively to lose the element of legitimacy of that power." Exactly right. I hadn't read that... But it sure ranks with Kissinger's "we don't have the answer to their problems" as a self-contradictory statement. ZB's "Grand Chessboard" lays out wonderfully complete disruption of foreign alliances and entanglements, even while stating it should be "cooperation of Democratic countries"... it's amusing.
