Folks,
I was thinking about the discussion of the Wikipedia Community and this 1917 Wilson quote came to my mind:
"The question upon which the whole future peace and policy of the world depends is this: Is the present war a struggle for a just and secure peace, or only for a new balance of power? If it be only a struggle for a new balance of power, who will guarantee, who can guarantee, the stable equilibrium of the new arrangement? Š There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized common peace."
That argument didn't succeed in getting the United States into the League of Nations.
