There is an increasingly perceptible gap between our ned for social transformation and America's insistence on stability, between our impatience for cange and American's obsession with order, our move towards revolution and America's belief in the plausibility of achieving reforms under the robber barons of the 'thrid world', our longing for absolutel national sovereignty and America's preference for pliable allies, our desires to see our national soil free of foreign occuption and America's alleged need for military bases. Eqbal Ahmed in a dialoue with Samuel Huntington, from No More Vietnames: War and the Future of American Policy
