stuffed bear you’ve ever seen. He’s pink and fluffy, has a happy little face, and there’s one sock stuck adorably to his left ear. “Hi, I’m Snuggles, the fabric-softening bear. And I . . .” The first bullet rips into Snuggles’s stomach, blows out of his back in a blizzard of cotton entrails, and punches a fist-sized hole in the dryer behind. Snuggles grabs the side of the Rubbermaid laundry basket and sinks down, his plastic eyes rolling as he looks for the source of the gunfire. Taking cover behind 1⁄16

into the valley of two giant waves, lifting the wounded man off his feet; he twisted to his left unable to take his hands away from his head. The boat surged upward, bow and midships more out of the water than in it, sweeping the figure in the doorway back into the cabin, a fifth gunshot fired wildly.

Accordingly, most realists take a pessimistic and prudential view of IR (Elman 2001). The roots of the realist worldview Realists regard themselves as heirs to an extended intellectual tradition (Waltz 2002: 198). It is customary to trace realism back to antiquity, with claims that its arguments can be found in important works from Greece, Rome, India, and China.
