What will America stand for in the world in the Post-Bush Era?

In The Idea that Is America, Princeton Dean and TPMCafe regular Anne-Marie Slaughter argues that we cannot give up the idea of a values-based foreign policy and must reengage the America traditions of liberty, democracy, equality, tolerance, faith, justice, and humility. By reconnecting with those American and universal values we can reclaim our moral standing on the global stage.

She'll be discussing the argument in TPMCafe's Book Club this week with Rachel Kleinfeld, Bruce Jentleson, David Shorr, Suzanne Nossel, Lee Feinstein, Michael Levy and David Rieff. Check it out.
