Another example of why I enjoy Andrew Bacevich

Bacevich heralds the death of the American Century. There's an article that accompanies this video, here. One of the impressive legacies Bacevich taps into is the works of William Appleman Williams (one of the more important American historians of the 20th century) and Charles and Mary Beard. I think he's a leading thinker on American foreign policy, and he offers a sane voice that elevates above the din of exceptionalism. The video is brief but informative.

You hear very few people saying this now: "At the end of the American century, it's time for us to acknowledge the errors we have made along the way. Perhaps we even need to apologize, apologize to the world...."
