It is this naked assertion of America and of American interests which I find so disturbing. We cannot run the world that way. Even in an era in which there is, effectively, only one superpower, we cannot have a situation in which that power is free to impose its views and to do whatever it wishes. This is what I call an imperial scenario. However benign such a project might be when it starts, it soon degenerates into what I call unbridled aggression and, effectively, abuse of power, with the consequent destruction of the values we, in free countries, including the United States, hold dear. Our protection against that is the United Nations.
