The Government of the United States have realized that the economic and military power at their disposal puts them in a unique position to influence the fate of mankind and they intend to make the best use of this opportunity. This is a welcome intention.

But intentions and the outcome of human actions are not always the same. They can either usher in a new era of freedom, peace and security, or plunge Mankind into decades of destruction and bloodshed. The success of their endeavour will require a vision that transcends the scope of vision of the national leaders of the past. The purpose of these comments is to help the American Government to develop such vision.
