GR related: New ? World order

[Eulenspiegel7646 at aol.com]

"We have 50 percent of the world's wealth, but only 6.3 percent of its 
population. . . In this situation we cannot fail to be the object of envy and 

resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of 
relationships which will allow us to maintain this position of disparity. We 
should cease to talk about the raising of the living standards, human rights, 

and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal 

in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic 
slogans, the better." 
-- George Kennan, Director of Policy Planning of the U.S. Dept. of State, 
1948
