American sentiment seems to be leaning increasingly toward withdrawal in the face of such disarray. In this powerful, urgent essay, Robert Kagan elucidates the reasons why American withdrawal would be the worst possible response, based as it is on a fundamental and dangerous misreading of the world. Like a jungle that keeps growing back after being cut down, the world has always been full of dangerous actors who, left unchecked, possess the desire and ability to make things worse. Kagan makes clear how the \"realist\" impulse to recognize our limitations and focus on our failures misunderstands the essential role America has played for decades in keeping the world's worst instability in check. A true realism, he argues, is based on the understanding that the historical norm has always been toward chaos--that the jungle will grow back, if we let it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Kagan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a columnist for \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post.\u003c\/i\u003e He is also the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Return of History and the End of Dreams, Dangerous Nation, Of Paradise and Power, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eA Twilight Struggle. \u003c\/i\u003eHe served in the U.S. State Department from 1984 to 1988.
