"To what extent are we going to get a more sensible foreign policy? I think there are very powerful forces moving in that direction. They just have a long way to go.
Our foreign policy elite is not that smart. We have an elite that got accustomed to trying to run the world, trying to shape local politics around the world.
I say in the book that liberal hegemony trying to reshape the world is a full employment policy for our foreign policy establishment. It gives them lots to do. It hasn’t worked very well but it kept them busy and they are very strongly committed to it but young Americans are not interested in these sorts of crusades."
