Quote:Senator Richard Lugar, who coined the phrase "out of area or out of business", represents the views of many pro-NATO conservatives who are prepared to make enlargement a l996 campaign issue.
Lugar made the above statement in 1993; and it is quoted once again by Charles A. Kupchan in his article published March 9, 2008 as below.
Quote:When faced with a choice between "going out of area or out of business," NATO chose to depart from its traditional mission of territorial defense, first dispatching forces to the Balkans and then to Afghanistan.
My question is how to paraphrase this new saying against the backdrop of Nato enlargement that has been going on for almost 20 years.
