And of course we do not intend to be the sole steward of world politics, not can we afford to be. We want to work together with our ALLIES toward common goals.
The question is, what goals are shared with with what allies. It's easy to see why continued American supremacy might be an American goal. It's less obvious that it should be a European goal.
We have been cooperating with Europe, from Haiti to Ukraine to Darfur to the Tsunami, to Lebanon. And now our cooperation in Iraq is likely to increase as well.
Surely nothing could be as frightening to the foes of peace and democracy as a reconciliation between the US and Europe?
