Several friends at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, in particular Ms Kerry Dumbaugh and Dr William Taylor, were enormously helpful and supportive. The entire staff at the Ethics and Public Policy Center has also provided me with invaluable research and editorial guidance, and I am especially indebted to Robert Royal and Carol Griffith. I would also like to thank Dr Stephen Gibert of Georgetown University, Mr Greg Mastel and especially Dr Gerald Segal for their kind comments and suggestions on the first drafts of this volume.
