October 2006 edit
This was deleted by AFD on 8-29-06, largely because the book was not yet released. The book has now been published and has a respectable Amazon sales rank of 2,213, so I don't think the prior AFD should be controlling. As a serious book from a reputable publisher, I don't think the book is subject to speedy delete in the first instance. If anyone disagrees, I suggest they post a new AFD.

- Author was on The Daily Show promoting the book last night. So I guess it's legit. -- Hawaiian717 03:22, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

To 62.83.101.150 - You have provided no citation to your statement that the J Curve has been used by those creating Foreign policy in Iraq. I have removed it as it appears to be original research. In fact, this assertion you make is directly contradicted by the author's quote just below. I think it takes Bremmer's reasoning farther than he would have it taken, and it provides too convenient an explanation for Iraq policy (meaning the policy is more complex and, I would say, careless than the J Curve could explain).
