Thomas Barnett : Let's rethink America's military strategy

Thomas Barnett at TED 2005  (transcript)
Let’s rethink America’s military strategy
Summary
I thought that this was the title that threatened Japanese people who lost in World War 2. However, the story was not about World War 2 but about the Cold War.
Cold War is said to start from the difference of ideology between capitalism and socialism after World War 2. Capitalism was the United State with its allies the Western regions and socialism was the Soviet Union with its satellite states the Eastern regions. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides. It continued over 40 years, the summit, Bush and Gorbachev would declare an end to the Cold War and after that, the Soviet Union collapsed.

I think that America must have had wanted to win clearly. Losing, uncertainty, and unable to find the perpetrators of 9/11 won't be allowed.
In fact, each country searches the reason to attack others to stand the top to get territories, energies, and money. Even the lines are decided, countries wait a chance. Its line is called the anti-access, area-denial asymmetrical.

The countries know that it’s important to be at peace and not to kill people. However, for that, there are countries which try to fight and for that, there is a country which doesn't have weapons, soldiers and law to fight. It is Japan.
Now, over 10 years passed from the story was told. The world is always changing. North Korea and China started to have power.

For protecting own country and being at peace, it will be obvious what we have to do.
Japan has to think more about what to do. Military strategy means now to be at peace and protect own country and the world. The mission of Japan is to protect Asian. Japanese people have to think and study more about this. I felt it by reading the story.
