Since the United States is one of the last remaining super powersof the world, we have the obligation to maintain and support good relations with the smaller and weaker nations throughout the world. We should take full advantage of thisauthority in severaldifferent ways. First the U.S. must focus on investing and trading withthose nations whohave yet to become economic powers; second, we must implement a consistent

foreign policy towards the Middle Eastern nations: third, the United States needs to respect theattempts and results of the democratization and religious revivals in the Middle East and Latin America, while taking a passive role in letting the a Western typeof democracy takeits course: and forth, the U.S. must ease and downplay its conflict withthose civilizationswho dislike the "Western people" and their way of life.
