Albright and Gingrich on Charlie Rose
The Charlie Rose Show is hosting a series on «A Memo to the Next President», and the second installment featuring former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich outclassed the first show with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Albright: A moral foreign policy does not mean a moralistic one; there needs to be a blend of realism and idealism in foreign policy; talking to enemies and signing treaties is not appeasement; Iraq is a strategic disaster; Iran can help in Afghanistan; IGOs and NGOs must be a part of American leadership.
Gingrich: the State Department should be 50% larger; the alliance between the Pope, Reagan, and Thatcher to rollback the Soviets in Eastern Europe is a model for Iran; the next president needs to listen to world leaders; a president cannot be involved in every decision concerning what matters to world leasers, and must prioritize; Iraq is a squandered moment, when in June 2003 the Bush administration «fell off a cliff»; domestic reform is necessary for America to fulfill its leadership in the next 20 years.
A must-see conversation!
