The Pentagon's New Map, Mar03 Esquire, Thomas Barnett

Thomas P.M. Barnett :: The Pentagon's New Map: "The knee-jerk reaction of many Americans to September 11 is to say, �Let�s get off our dependency on foreign oil, and then we won�t have to deal with those people.� The most na�ve assumption underlying that dream is that reducing what little connectivity the Gap has with the Core will render it less dangerous to us over the long haul. Turning the Middle East into Central Africa will not build a better world for my kids. We cannot simply will those people away."
