Kennan on democratic foreign policy:
"But sometimes I wonder whether in this respect a democracy is not unconfortably similiar to one of theose prehistoric monsters with a body as long as this room and a brain the size of a pin; he lies there in his comfortable primeval mud and pays little attention to his environment; he is slow to wrath - in fact, you practically have to whack its tail off to make him aware that his interests are being disturbed; but once he grasps this, he lays about him with such blind determination that he only destroys his adversary but largely wrecks his native habitat"
