| Summary/Abstract |
The lessons drawn from the Iraq war need to be understood not to mean that there might be no more wars, for there will be, but not to repeat the mistaken preconceptions, historical analogies, and mismanagement of the approach to war and its aftermath. The world is now a very different place.

| Summary/Abstract |
Surprisingly, the war has not changed any fundamental elements of Asia's rising influence, nor has it significantly weakened the U.S. hand in the region in any enduring way. The reality is that the Iraq war has not been as fundamental to Asian geopolitics as it has in the Middle East or Europe

| Summary/Abstract |
The roots of Putin's Plan lie not in Marxism-Leninism, but in Western business theory. True to these roots, Putin is orchestrating the election of someone to succeed him as strategic planner, the CEO of "Russia Inc.," who will continue to seek domestic and international stability.
