Our real task. . . is to devise a pattern of relationships which will
permit us to maintain this position of disparity [U.S. military-
economic supremacy]. . . To do so, we will have to dispense with all
sentimentality and day-dreaming. . . We should cease to talk about vague
and. . .unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the
living standards, and democratization. . . 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. U.S.
State Department. 1948
