Soft power is wonderful and lovely, and it would be a much better world if shows of force where to stop. Sympathy is akin to allegiance, and over time translates into all sorts of practical benefits. We were getting harsher on China until it turned out that they can be reasonable and a good trade partner. Israel doesn’t have a ton of friends left in the world arena. Sure, we might be old grandpas over here, but at least I think it’s a better world if we hold each other accountable and try to be friendly to our allies. |
