Zitat des Tages von George F. Kennan:
The best thing we can do if we want the Russians to let us be Americans is to let the Russians be Russian.
The accords were fig leaves of democratic procedure to hide the nakedness of Stalinist dictatorship.
Heroism is endurance for one moment more.
The best an American can look forward to is the lonely pleasure of one who stands at long last on a chilly and inhospitable mountaintop where few have been before, where few can follow and where few will consent to believe he has been.
