Haviland Smith a former CIA agent in article in article in San Jose Mercury Journal tells us the methodology to regain our reputation as a world leader.
Tell this to Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin and others who have become rabid warriors for nationalism. They are all flogging a dead horse. Some vivid examples are:
We are getting finance from all over the world to repair subprime crisis.
Most consumer goods come from China and we indebted to them up to the hilt.
We cannot run our industries and farms without labor from other countries.
US cannot make the whole world democratic.
We cannot beat the openness of the world created by heightened interdependence, internet and ease of travel.
Mr. Smith echoes sane Americans when he wants us to stop turning our friends into enemies and creating new ones.
