The Role of the United States in World Affairs.

Unlike the United States and the former Soviet Union during the Cold War, India and Pakistan do not have the benefit of a vast ocean between them,

The United States is the leader of the free world.

If the United States wants to get involved in guerrilla warfare around the world, we ought to ask ourselves very carefully whether that makes sense and what our stakes are in it. We didn't ask those questions in Vietnam.

Four years ago, some said the world had grown calm, and many assumed that the United States was invulnerable to danger. That thought might have been comforting; it was also false. Like other generations of Americans, we soon discovered that history had great and unexpected duties in store for us.

A very clear signal to those around the world that the United States is supported completely by its NATO allies.
