Fareed Zakaria To Mitt Romney – You Don’t Know The True Meaning Of “Post American”

Fareed Zakaria took on one of Mitt Romney’s claim, that president Obama “fundamentally believes that this next century is the post American century.” It’s a claim Romney has used numerous times in attacking the President.

Fareed’s response… “Mitt, we’re in a different world now.”

Zakaria then went into a “then and now” comparison, showing how things were decades ago when America was the only dominant nation, how things are now. Zakaria credits the growth of these other nations to new leadership and policies, and suggests that the world is no longer the place Mitt Romney talks about and desires to return to.

Zakaria’s take…

“Mitt by and large, you have ridiculed this approach to foreign policy, arguing that you will instead expand the military, act unilaterally and talk apologetically. But chest thumping triumphalism won’t help  you secure America’s interests on ideals in a world populated by powerful new players. You can call this new century whatever you like, but it won’t change reality. After all, just because we call it the world series, doesn’t actually make it one.”
