OBAMA & THE OTHER N-WORD

Saturday, 5th May 2007

This is interesting... Robert Kagan, leading light of the neo-conservatives, writes in praise of the Senator from Illinois:

Obama's insistence that we not "cede our claim of leadership in world affairs" will sound like an anachronistic conceit to many Europeans, who even in the 1990s complained about the bullying "hyperpower." In Moscow and Beijing it will confirm suspicions about America's inherent hegemonism. But Obama believes the world yearns to follow us, if only we restore our worthiness to lead. Personally, I like it.
