the arrogance of power....some believe that power equals dominance, while others offer a more sympathetice view
As Fulfbright once wrote..“The more I puzzle over the great wars of history, the more I am inclined to the view that the causes attributed to them–territory, markets, resources, the defense or perpetuation of great principles–were not the root causes at all but rather explanations or excuses for certain unfathomable drives of human nature. For lack of a clear and precise understanding of exactly what these motives are, I refer to them as the “arrogance of power”–as a psychological need that nations seem to have in order to prove that they are bigger, better, or stronger than other nations."'
