Document Summary
About 80% of the us public does believe that war is necessary. Europe: but 80% of europeans think that it is never okay to engage in war, there are no grounds on which it can be legitimatize. Kagan says that it is a valid hypothesis that because the. Europeans have gone through such destruction, and are more adverse to war than maybe. He says it is not so much sociological that europeans are adverse to war, it is ir. He means that it is power; it is because that the. Their power in ir according to kagan, is declining so they see no value reason or utilitarian reason for war to be fought. Instead they say we need more organizations, more order. What he is saying that europeans want something that is un-american. As a result of that they are increasingly inward looking and are less and less concerned with what is happening with ir on a global scale.
