Review excerpt:

Pat Buchanan believes that America should now "come home," Jeane Kirkpatrick that it should behave like "a normal country in a normal time," Irving Kristol that the traditional concept of national interest should be our guide. Others, however, take a more expansive view of things and argue that America should press its new advantage as the victor of the superpower conflict--not to conquer but to convert.

The most thoughtful and stimulating of this last group is Joshua Muravchik, and in Exporting Democracy: Fulfilling America's Destiny, he defines what the president has so far been unable to: The "new world order" is to be a world made over in our own image, a world of American-inspired democratic states.
