"End the rapprochement with Iran."

John McCain, the fellow who once famously shouted: "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran", has "lost his marbles". (5) Yet, he will play a powerful role in the definition of the United States' policy abroad. His credo is exceptionalism and world hegemony.

We are faced with two opposite visions. Which one will prevail? Kissinger's or the neoconservatives? "Insight" means peace, "chaos" means war. Peace is preferable to war but the American foreign policy establishment is in the hand of the warmongers. This is the message behind Kissinger's message.

(1) "Do we achieve world order through chaos or insight?" Der Spiegel, November 13, 2014.

(2) "The war party won", David Stockman, November 12, 2014.

(3) "Republican hawks already have a war plan for ISIS, Ukraine, and Obama." Eli Lake, November 5, 2014

(4) "Obama's foreign policy after the midterms", Max Boot, Commentary, November 11, 2014.

(5) "The war party won", David Stockman, November 12, 2014.
