"Robert D. Kaplan, another contemporary commentator lionized by American militarists, has even urged in Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos that American foreign policy not allow itself to be constrained by Judeo-Christian morality and that 'progress often comes from hurting others.'
