"We have about 50% of the world's wealth, but only 6% of its
population... In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy
and resentment.  Our real task is to maintain this position of disparity
without detriment to our national security.  To do so, we will have to
dispense with all sentimentality and daydreaming.  We should cease to talk
about vague and unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of
living standards, and democratization.  The day is not far off when we are
going to have to deal in straight power concepts.  The less we are
hampered by idealistic slogans, the better..."
                   - Cold War global strategist and Presidential
Foreign Policy Advisor, George F. Kennan, "Presidential Policy Statement
23" TOP SECRET (1948)
