‘What’s the point of having this superb military that you’re always talking about if we can’t use it?’ quoth Madeline Albright to Colin Powell. Military might is nomally a tool for wielding power after political means have failed, but a seemingly overwhelming force will consistently shift the balance away from diplomacy and towards war, as we have seen. The US's problems seem to be entirely self-created, through meddling with other states or, as a result, being in the wrong place when other conflicts break out. Can they just not, for a change?

Why do you assume that Zakheim in fact wants to make America safer?
He wants empire, and militarism is the only way he will get what he hungers for.
