"We have about 50% of the world's wealth, but only 6.3% of its population . . . our real task . . . is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security . . . We should cease to talk about unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of living standards, and democratization . . . [W]e are going to have to deal in straight power concepts." ~ George F. Kennan, State Dept. February 1948
