"In Kaplan's words, 'American patriotism -- honoring the
flag, July Fourth celebrations, and so on -- must survive long
enough to provide the military armature for an emerging global
civilization that may eventually make such patriotism
obsolete.' Kaplan has in mind such institutions as the

with other supranational authorities) is only the start of a
process to create an international Leviathan.'"
