| We are not configured as a nation in our armed forces or the State Department to deal with nation-building. |
| But the power of war as an agent of nation-building transcends the logistics of the implementation of state-power. |
| Civil society is underdeveloped, and opportunities for nation-building exclude youth and children. |
| These are worthy elements of foreign policy but also modest ones compared to regime change, nation-building, and other grandiosity. |
| Our Army is always, always, always surprised when it has to do occupation, nation-building and constabulary work. |
| Military power is not a panacea unless it is coupled with the soft skills of nation-building and, yes, global social work. |
