My last word on that article. He is too forgiving of the past US mistakes, and he is of course very partisan (as should be expected of a political appointee). BUT, his diagnosis and remedy are dead on the money. Importantly, he is right that viewed properly, the US exceptionalism means that the US has exceptional abilities to make the world a better place and that this power should take the form of enlightened self interest. After all, the problems that the US faces are beyond America's ability to address single handedly, and even if they could be, it would be too expensive. Leadership is not about doing it solo. Nor is it about dictating terms. As I consider which country could be the next global leader, I cannot find any candidates that are better suited than America. Neither the EU nor China (and certainly not Russia) have the right psychological make up and culture to lead the world to a win-win environment. Unfortunately, the US record has been spotty at best - most notably under GWB and Trump who each took extreme positions on the US Exceptionalism, albeit in opposite directions and neither has been right. But the Democrats globalism agenda has not been wise either.
