Exactly unexamined topic. So i thought i might just say a couple of words about why i undertook it. Right now we are at a, one of those moments of American Foreign policy debate that George Kennon described as like a stone thrown into a beehive, that is with intense buzzing about what needs to be done, with heightened controversy and awareness of the stakes of Foreign Policy and lots of finger pointing and confusion. And as kennon said, nobody understands whats going on.

Maximalism was the response of american president s to the big cold war crises, to the impoverishment and weakness of western europe and its vulnerability in the 1940s, to a series of pressures and challenges in the course of the cold war but we also see it in the ambitious policies that followed the cold war, the first president bush toured german reunification responding to the invasion of kuwait, the policies of the clinton and administration in the balkans and of course the most ambitiously of all the response of the second bush of administration to september 11.
