Is There a Role for the US in the World?

I kind of share your instincts, which is in some sense that the bar was really low. You know, there was nowhere to go. I do think there has been a fortification about role, but to call it anything close to a restoration would be dramatically overstating the case because of so much that has happened. It's very intellectually disorienting to be sprinting so quickly away from the way things were organized before and whatever's coming next.
