Agendas: How Bush could re-establish the American claim to global
leadership by borrowing heavily from John Kerry.
By Jeffrey E. Garten
Newsweek
Issues 2005 - President Ronald Reagan used to say that America was a
shining city on a hill. Former secretary of State Madeleine Albright
called the United States the "indispensable nation." Such declarations
are often mocked as arrogant exaggerations, but I believe they embody a
lot of truth. Like many Americans, however, I think President Bush has
undermined America's reputation in the world with his unilateral
foreign policy and mounting deficits. It's a shame. But there is still
no doubt in my mind that our assets still outweigh our liabilities. And
as American historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. recently wrote, "The
great strength of democracy is its capacity for self-correction."

As long as it stays a democracy.
