Foreign Affairs - Through Our Friends' Eyes -- Defending and Advising the Hyperpower - Walter Russell Mead
by possibly noteworthy at 12:31 pm EDT, May 6, 2006

"To endure in the 21st century," Joffe concludes, "this hegemon must soften the hard edge of its power with the world's consent. Otherwise the 'cittie upon a hill' will be a high, but lonely place." Or as Jesus says in the Gospel of Mark, "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all."

Such sentiments are beautiful, moving, and even true to a degree. But they leave tough questions unanswered.
