The American empire will not disappear... because America does not have an empire (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
In the past, a blow to the international system’s strongest power would have been welcomed by its rivals. In the wake of September 11, however, every significant government in the world declared its support for the United States. (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The cardinal sin in sports, what could really wreck it, is not cheating to win, which has gone on forever, but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports’ appeal, which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed, they’re no different from movies; they’re scripted. (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
In truth, every American administration since that of Franklin D. Roosevelt has maintained close ties with the Saudi rulers, and for a single, simple reason: oil. (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)

The great thing about baseball is the causality is easy to determine and it always falls on the shoulders of one person. So there is absolute responsibility. That’s why baseball is psychologically the cruelest sport and why it really requires psychological resources to play baseball - because you have to learn to live with failure. (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
Words matter, especially words defining complicated political arrangements, because they shape perceptions of the events of the past, attitudes toward policies being carried out in the present, and expectations about desirable directions for the future. (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The government can give citizens opportunity and it’s their responsibility to take advantage of it. (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The real threat to world stability is not too much American power. It is too little American power (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The attacks of September 11, 2001, were spectacular, riveting, grim, costly and searing. The shock that they caused reverberated throughout the world. What happened in New York and Washington and Pennsylvania ended the lives of thousands of people and changed the lives of many more. But they did not change the world (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
In the past when a country became as powerful as the United States, other countries would band together to clip its wings. But that isn’t happening now and I don’t think it’s not going to happen, because other countries are not threatened by us, and they secretly appreciate the services that we provide, even if they don’t usually say so (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
Certainly, protecting oppressed people, stopping ethnic conflict and promoting responsible governance are worthy goals. But none is as important for American security and prosperity as keeping the peace in the Middle East, Europe and East Asia (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The United States doesn’t do what it does in the world for altruistic reasons. Nobody set out to be the world’s government (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
First of all, the world criticizes American foreign policy because Americans criticize American foreign policy. We shouldn’t be surprised about that. Criticizing government is a God-given right - at least in democracies (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The main division in the world is between democratic and undemocratic countries (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
Great wars can only be fought by great powers (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
American foreign policy, for all its shortcomings, has underpinned political stability around the world (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
All policy is a matter of gains and losses, upsides and downsides (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
If architecture is, as is sometimes said, music set in concrete, then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
While analogies are useful, however, they can also be misleading. They smuggle in assumptions that can be wrong (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The windfall of great riches can, if mismanaged, make things worse, not better, for the recipients (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The less oil the world uses, the less important the region that has so much of it becomes (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
The government can give citizens opportunity and it’s their responsibility to take advantage of it (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
After all, the past is our only real guide to the future, and historical analogies are instruments for distilling and organizing the past and converting it to a map by which we can navigate (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
In my experience, it’s not just that serious books get a hearing on comedy shows. But serious books get a serious hearing, as well as a funny one, on comedy shows (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
People do not change when you tell them they should; they change when they tell themselves they must (Michael Mandelbaum Quotes)
