Title: alluring concept - though it misses the mark
Product review: Alluring little book which I read in one sitting. Though the author's overemphasis on wielding force misses the point - our greatest current challenge is terrorism, and the war against terrorism cannot be won by military means alone. Police work, cooperation with other nations (ironically Europeans have had much more experience than the US in fighting terrorism and ensuring security at home), and the encouragement of economic and political development are essential.In this, as in most matters, the reality is that the US can lead, but it cannot dominate. Leadership implies strength but also some humility. "Speak softly and carry a big stick", as Theodore Roosevelt used to say.
