America's most dangerous diseases have developed an immunity to politics. We suffer not from a failure of political organization or power but a failure of love.

The rise of China as a new power is another great challenge for the US. Our failure to properly handle Germany and Japan earlier in the 20th century cost us and the world dearly. We must not make this same mistake with China.
