You can claim that the post-WWII restructuring of the world economy didn't
work (in which case I will scratch my head and muse about the fastest
generation of growth that the world economy--or indeed the
then-less-developed countries--ever saw). But I don't think you can claim
that George Kennan was on the "dovish" wing of the American foreign policy
establishment...
