Kagan, Robert (Robert Kagan)

If you don't have a hammer, you don't want anything to look like a nail.


-- Robert Kagan

When you have a hammer, all problems start to look like nails. But nations without great military power face the opposite danger: When you don't have a hammer, you don't want anything to look like nails.


-- Robert Kagan

I think most Americans believe that although it's better not to use military force if you can avoid it, that the world simply doesn't provide us the luxury of giving away military force as an important tool of foreign policy.
