 | "The classic way to force other nations to do what they did not want
to used to be war. Today there is a much bigger payoff in "getting others
to want what you want," and that has to do with "cultural attraction,"
"ideology" and "agenda setting." Think of the U.S. as a gambler who, can
play simultaneously at every table that matters?and with more chips than
anybody else. It is the largest economy, the fastest-running job machine
and the world"s biggest exporter. Whichever heap you choose, America sits
on top of it." |  |
