Marc,
I guess I should provide at least where I'm going - If strategic behaviour reflects strategic culture then do U.S. values, ethics and morals (this one should be fun for a Canadian) play into how we perceive our strategic role? Do they manifest themselves into policy? How do those outside the U.S. perceive our motives?
This could lead us down a number of interesting lines of thought regarding what Gray describes as Strategic Performance and how that gets to Strategic Effects.
