Well there seems to have been a transition since 911 towards more USA imperalism.
The new fundamental of international relations seems to have been defined by Bush’s statement,”You are either with us or you are agaisnt us.” Right now all international relations are evolving around the USA with the USA being basically a rogue superpower.
Avoid entangling alliances.
Energy -
Like water price gouging during a disaster, the world can not afford a consolidation of power of our energy sources and like those who would price gouge water, we must commit to removing power that prays on the meek.
Democracy -
Where there is free choice there is free minds that engage in philosophy, art, and literature that fuels the process of science and innovation.
Security -
Where there is a successful democracy that engages a free market, products, ideas, there are those who fear, envy, and resent that very freedom.
