My score on The Foreign Policy School Test:

**************************************

Isolationist
(You scored 4294967293 Force, 4294967294 Institutions, and 4294967287 Ideals!)

"You don't believe in using military force except in extreme circumstances, you don't want your country to get involved in any entangling alliances and treaties, and you have no ideals, or at least not any that you think are worth fighting for. It's quite possible that you live in a bomb shelter in Montana, and wear a hat made of aluminum foil (you know, so THEY can't listen to your thoughts)."

I think that the numbers for the scoring are off for whatever weird reason but I think that the test basically works considering that I do have an isolationist streak. I do not wear a hat made of aluminum foil though, it is not strong enough to keep the mind rays out, one must use lead coverings instead!

You love the smell of napalm in the morning, and you don't particularly care who or what it's burning. If you want to pilfer another country for looking at you the wrong way, you're going to do it, and no namby-pamby organization like the UN is going to tell you different! You probably live in Texas and have "America, f**k Yeah!" as your ringtone.

and i am not even american lol

You like diplomacy for its own sake. On the bright side, this means that you are likely to avoid going to war (even if it means parsing apart smaller countries to appease megalomaniac dictators). On the not so bright side, the costs of such inaction are often quite high. But...at least you'll have job security.

You're definitely not swayed by proletarian notions of ideals and values. No, you are out to protect your country's strategic interests, and you aren't afraid to use the military to do it. But what separates you from the Cheneys of the world is your desire to to use diplomacy if at all possible. Your paramount value (heh, heh) is stability. You are thus most likely a pale grad student with a superiority complex and a collection of Ken Waltz's greatets hits.




My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Force

You scored higher than 99% on Institutions

You know, if everyone waited for the other country to begin hostilites....

Except that they won't. I mean, the nations begin hostilities either military or through other means in order to pursue their ends, just waiting is not what these nations consider to be a rational move on their part. It is like asking why people won't just play nice. It is nice to think that way, however, what it comes down to is that those who act believe that they can get what they want. I do not think that some great perfect order will arise unless actors in these games recognize that it is in their best interests to not perform some evil.

I know they won't. I'm just saying in a ideal world.

I've never been one to look to hard at an ideal homework. If we lived in an ideal world then none of us would have any of the problems we ever struggle with.

You want to change the world for the better, you're willing to use force to do it, and you don't particularly care what the rest of the world thinks. On behalf of the world, I hope that your notion of changing it for the better agrees with mine, or, if it doesn't, that you don't live in a country with the means to pursue your agenda. You are probably a disgruntled former liberal who writes angry editorials that are published in the very newspapers you denigrate as elitist and liberal.

Nope.
