Rumsfeld’s mistrust of the European approach contains a grain of truth. Europe has used the attractiveness of its Union to obtain outcomes it wants, just as the US has acted as though its military pre-eminence could solve all problems.
拉氏对欧洲方式的不信任包含了真相本质。正如美国的行为方式看似其军事独霸可以解决所有问题一样，欧洲利用欧盟的吸引力实现它所要实现的目标。但是，仅仅指望钢性力量或者柔性力量都是错误的。将二者有效结合起来的能力就是“灵巧力量”。
