To paul and JohnM~~Certainly food for thought: "I believe that 9-11 shifted the paradigm to economic self-interest AND democratic commitment."

Thanks to both of you for such a wonderful discussion...

Paul said: This is the crux of the matter. In somewhat partisan language Ignatieff highlights the key challenge for America today, the trade-off between stability and democratic rhetoric. I would restate this as the percieved trade-off between economic self-interest and democratic commitment or narrow self-interest versus broad self-interest. For the past 60 years, the paradigm has been economic self-interest OR democratic commitment. I believe that 9-11 shifted the paradigm to economic self-interest AND democratic commitment. It is no longer acceptable to sell one out for the other. This is exactly the paradigm shift which I believe Bush made on the morning of Sept. 11.
