回顾过去一个半世纪的俄美关系——那时这一关系 并非 世界政治最为关键的问题,有什么模式会从中显露出来吗?有一个模式似乎特别突出:

只要是俄国人和美国人出于世界地位的考虑而最大化地追逐利益,彼此之间就很少有冲突。不论是在19世纪的大部分时间里反对英国,或是在20世纪前半叶两次反对德国,还是自1945年起为避免相互毁灭的真实威胁而以某种方式设法维护和平,尽管两国国内制度存在根本性差异,但共同威胁仍促进了合作。我们可能发现,这种合作并不易于商定或维持。曾经几度,某一方期望合作以不同的方式进行,或期望合作产生不同的结果。但事实却是,当我们不得不合作时我们进行了合作,这一事实本身就足以说明我们的最终利益所在。

我们两个国家的敌对,最经常是因一方设法改变另一方的内部制度而起,而不是由我们内部制度的差异所致,尽管这些差异是实际存在的。双方在过去都曾做出过此类努力:美国以普遍关切人权的方式,苏联则以号召世界革命的方式。就实现这些野心勃勃的目标而言,没有一方是成功的或看似成功的。但通过将这些内部关注扩展到外部,我们设法让那些在世界政治上追求共同利益的行动比以前更为困难。

我们无须深究在多大程度上这一倾向今天仍在持续,而只能期望,钟摆将会及时回摆,更大程度地意识到历史昭示我们的共同责任,远离我们共同设法改变对方的不良习惯。
