"Rethinking the National Interest" by Condoleezza Rice
Foreign Affairs July/August 2008
After 9/11, the United States was called to lead with a new perspective on threats and opportunities--recognizing that it is vital to U.S. national security that states be willing and able to meet the full range of their responsibilities, beyond their borders and within them. This uniquely American realism has guided policy for the past eight years, and it must continue to do so in the years to come.
