This is true. But nations without great military power face the opposite danger: when you don't have a hammer, you don't want anything to look like a nail." - Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order.

Macht und Ohnmacht, Siedler, 2003, ISBN 3886807940, Übersetzer: Thorsten Schmidt <br class="br">Original engl.: "A man armed only with a knife may decide that a bear prowling the forest is a tolerable danger, inasmuch as the alternative – hunting the bear armed only with a knife – is actually riskier than lying low and hoping the bear never attacks. The same man armed with a rifle, however, will likely make a different calculation of what constitutes a tolerable risk. Why should he risk being mauled to death if he doesn’t have to?" - Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order. Random House 2004. p. 36.
