  • The one important German politician who recently fell over his statements about the Nazi period (the former Speaker of the Bundestag, Phillipp Jenninger) did so because he blundered so badly in conveying his politically entirely “correct” sense of disgust and horror about Nazi crimes that he caused an outcry over his bad taste and style.
  • At the heart of US-Japan economic frictions probably are differences in values: America's complaints about “unfair” Japanese trade practices ultimately reflect a sense that Japan may not respect and practice what it pretends to believe (and Japan may be forgiven if it, too, now suspects that America may not practice what it preaches in its trade policies).
  • Paradoxically, using force in the pursuit of international order under certain circumstances will argue for early and perhaps even rather massive use of military force—in analogy to domestic politics, where nobody would argue that the police should interfere only as a last resort, and with minimum strength. Civilian powers would, for example, ideally strongly favor international standing forces under UN auspices, and they would be willing to see them brought into a crisis such as, say, Yugoslavia, at an early time so as to maximize the deterrent effect.
