- WHEN MIGHT MAKES WRONG In a one-superpower world, the danger is unilateralism Asia Week 28 June 1996 "American leaders make no secret nowadays of playing to the evening news cameras at home, even at the expense of global peace. The government... now seems willing to risk war just to
score in domestic politics.... Such a me-first approach may elicit cheers from Americans with little knowledge of how the world ticks. But it hardly serves the nation's interests overseas, not to mention the cause of global peace and prosperity...

That is also the message U.S. unilateralism broadcasts, sowing the seeds of future conflict."
