Walter Isaacson Quotes

Kissinger Traces The Balances Made In Foreign Policy, Including That Of Realism And Idealism, From The Times Of Cardinal Richelieu Through Chapters On Theodore Roosevelt The Realist And Woodrow Wilson The Idealist. Kissinger, A European Refugee Who Has Read Metternich More Avidly Than Jefferson, Is Unabashedly In The Realist Camp. "No Other Nation," He Wrote In Diplomacy, "has Ever Rested Its Claim To International Leadership On Its Altruism." Other Americans Might Proclaim This As A Point Of Pride; When Kissinger Says It, His Attitude Seems That Of An Anthropologist Examining A Rather Unsettling Tribal Ritual. The Practice Of Basing Policy On Ideals Rather Than Interests, He Pointed Out, Can Make A Nation Seem Dangerously Unpredictable.
