POV/OR
Hello! Please do not try to overwrite the entire article with your "critical assessment" of "national interest". This is considered vandalism.

You can most certainly write about this, and we appreciate your contributions, but please do so in an encyclopedic fashion. That is:

Please have a look at the links above before continuing to write. The text you wrote is still in the page history, you can copy it from there if you want to work on it.
 * append an separate section, do not overwrite the article
 * write from a neutral point of view. That is, say "Researcher X says that national interest is problematic because ..." and not just "National interest is problematic."
 * you must cite reliable sources, or anyone may delete your work as original research.

If you would like to discuss this, let's do so at Talk:National interest. Best, Sandstein 05:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
