The sentence:
It is also called realpolitik, the German equivalent
is out of line with the generally accepted usage of the term realpolitic, which is that of the pursuit of the national interest without regard to ethical or humanitarian considerations (see [1]). Realism as defined is one of its subsets, not its equivalent.

I propose to delete the sentence. Nick Gardner 02:50, 10 May 2011 (CDT)
