NRI: A Conservative Foreign Policy
Written by Mark Harris on January 27th, 2007John o’sullivan has been giving a talk on foreign policy and it has some good points I’ll quickly highlight.
3 Threats
* Islamic radicalism
* Transnational progressives
* China
Islamic radicalism is winning in Europe but losing worldwide, and if we keep the fight we will win
In 50 years, 75% of world GDP will be divided between China, India, and the US which actually works to fight transnational progressivism. These new powers will not want to give up their influence to transnational progressives. In some ways the EU will be the only pro-transnational entity.
But even the EU will no longer be able to fight for abortion on demand, gay rights, etc because of the growing muslim influence.
O’Sullivan also had a great comment that we suffer from “cultural masochism”
Rivkin is now talking about the need to portray Islamic fundamentalism as antithetical to human nature. He argues part of that being democracy promotion
