The Idea of America Has Been Tarnished in a Really Significant Way

I think i come down in between you guys. On the one hand, i do think the world is hungry for restoration of order. And when the us. has been at its very best, it does have the capability of reassuring its allies in that way. The idea of america as a place that has somehow managed to make the melting pot work, as a place where multiculturalism can flourish, i think that idea has been really, really tarnished. I don't think you will find developing countries that now looks at the american political system and says, oh, that's what we want. Those days are gone forever.
