A new intellectual history of U.S. foreign policy from the late nineteenth century to the present

Worldmaking is a compelling new take on the history of American diplomacy. Rather than retelling the story of realism versus idealism, David Milne suggests that U.S. foreign policy has also been crucially divided between those who view statecraft as an art and those who believe it can aspire to the certainty of science.

Worldmaking follows a cast of characters who built on one another's ideas to create the policies we have today. Woodrow Wilson's Universalism and moralism led Sigmund Freud to diagnose him with a messiah complex. Walter Lippmann was a syndicated columnist who commanded the attention of leaders as diverse as Theodore Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Charles de Gaulle. Paul Wolfowitz was the intellectual architect of the 2003 invasion of Iraq--and an admirer of Wilson's attempt to "make the world safe for democracy." Each was engaged in a process of worldmaking, formulating strategies that sought to deploy the nation's vast military and economic power--or sought to retrench and focus on domestic issues--to shape a world in which the United States would be best positioned to thrive.

Tracing American statecraft from the age of steam engines to the age of drones, Milne reveals patterns of worldmaking that have remained impervious to the passage of time. The result is a panoramic history of U.S. foreign policy driven by ideas and by the lives and times of their authors.

It Doesn’t Burn
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Toothpaste burns my mouth. Idk why. Started during menopause along with the many other things that changed about myself. I do like it. It doesn’t burn. But, it doesn’t give me that clean feeling.

Pricey but great for people who need something gently on the tongue or mouth
Size: 4.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great alternative to traditional Toothpaste. Its a bit pricey but if you are like me you dont have to share it with anyone else because they can use regular toothpaste. The minty flavor is subtle but does not cause irritation. Easy to just just like regular toothpaste. it doesnt have any whitening in it but is a comfort for those that need a toothpaste gently on the tongue or mouth. Still does the job

Great for people on medication that causes dry mouth
Flavor Name: Cinnamon, Size: 230 Count (Pack of 1)
I pop two of these in my mouth every evening when I get ready for bed. They stick to my gums and cause me to produce just the right amount of saliva during the night; this I don't wake up with cotton mouth! Actually, most mornings I wake up to find I still have a little bit of the XyliMelts adhering to my gums-- even after 7 or 8 hours of sleep! I really like the spicy Cinnamon taste- I almost want to eat them just for the taste (but I don't know if that's such a great idea!)
