39. John McCain An Enduring Peace Built on Freedom, Securing America's FutureFrom Foreign Affairs , November/December 2007 “America needs a president who can revitalize the country's purpose and standing in the world and defeat terrorist adversaries who threaten liberty at home and abroad. There is an enormous amount to do. The next U.S. president must be ready to show America and the world that this country's best days are yet to come and be ready to establish an enduring peace based on freedom.”

40. Hillary Clinton Security and Opportunity for the Twenty-first Century From Foreign Affairs , November/December 2007 “The next U.S. president will have a moment of opportunity to reintroduce America to the world and restore our leadership. To build a world that is safe, prosperous, and just, we must get out of Iraq, rediscover the value of statesmanship, and live up to the democratic values that are the deepest source of our strength.”

41. Barack Obama Renewing American Leadership From Foreign Affairs , July/August 2007 “After Iraq, we may be tempted to turn inward. That would be a mistake. The American moment is not over, but it must be seized anew. We must bring the war to a responsible end and then renew our leadership -- military, diplomatic, moral -- to confront new threats and capitalize on new opportunities. America cannot meet this century's challenges alone; the world cannot meet them without America.”

45. Balance of Power = Machtgleichgewicht

46. Alexis de Tocqueville,Democracy In America, (1835) „entschieden unterlegener Form“

47. 2. Traditionen • Universalismus • Isolationismus

48. Universalismus John Winthrop (1630) „For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill.“ The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken ... we shall be made a story and a by-word throughout the world. We shall open the mouths of enemies to speak evil of the ways of God ... We shall shame the faces of many of God's worthy servants, and cause their prayers to be turned into curses upon us til we be consumed out of the good land whither we are going.

49. Isolationismus George Washington Farewell Address (1796) Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove, that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government. It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.
