Barnett makes a good point

This quote from Thomas P.M. Barnett, author of "The Pentagon's New Map," on the Hugh Hewitt Radio Show:

"Let me give you one simple rule for my grand strategy: In a long war, you need to maximize your definition of friends, and you need to minimize -meaning, be very discrete, focused on your definition of enemies. My main complaint with the Bush administration is, they've made way too many enemies, and not enough friends."
