I like the Barnett article better. I finished his most recent book not too long ago. Some seriously good ideas, combining diplomacy, military force and aid to bridge the gap nations.. lots of good history behind the reading.
Also read the Interrorgators... about ways and methods of interrigation of prisonors, and got the exact opposite feeling i thought i would. Its hard to look at torture and murder of insurgent and terrorists and not have the altruistic nature in you make you want to turn your head, while at the same time trying to suck back the hatred and beg for more.
I liked it better when i knew it was going on and didn't have to see it. And i sure as hell liked it a lot better when peoples heads weren't being cut off on the evening news.
