The Kerry Solution

John Kerry thinks that if he is elected he can solve the Iraq pacification problem by enlarging the coalition to include Old Europe. He probably can. But wait, there is more. Here is how he does it: the utter humiliation of George Bush and the America he stands for, an America that believes it is stronger, smarter, richer, tougher, freer, and morally superior. America needs to get down on its knees and beg forgiveness and admit that our wealth is exploitation, freedom is illusory, our morality is hypocracy, our toughness is the uncivilized brutality of the capital executioner, and our intelligence is naive self delusion. To proove we mean it we will of course have to submit to Kyoto, the world court, the UN etc.

From the Dictionary of Theories: "Nations achieve dominance in international systems, which they then must maintain by "rewards" to less powerful nations. Such a system is paradoxically unstable."
