Deras förslag tycks mycket handla om kulturpromotion av franskt snitt, dolt bakom säkerhetspolitisk retorik. Men inte bara. De har nog en poäng när de talar om kulturellt inflytande och mjuk makt. Som uttryckets upphovsmann Joseph Nye formulerade det i en klok kolumn om Irak:
Soft power is the ability to get what one wants by attracting others rather than threatening or paying them. It is based on culture, political ideals, and policies. When you persuade others to want what you want, you do not have to spend as much on sticks and carrots to move them in your direction.
