He doesn't say anything as simple as that there used to be just one monolithic enemy, and now there are many. What he is communicating is that there is a generalized threat that he feels incapable of breaking down into types and categories. In fact, it's not so intellectually difficult to define the residual antagonists of the United States. His pathetic clueless nostalgia for a time when being top dog in the world was a lot simpler and required less sophistication and data is not heartening, in my view, in the likely next President of the world's most powerful nation, the United States of America. I do hope he will study hard and get a clue soon! Ish, since you understand him, maybe you can elucidate this comment of his regarding the international situation: "This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mential losses." At a South Carolina oyster roast, as quoted in the Financial Times, Jan. 14, 2000 I am particularly concerned about the prospect of mential losses. This could be serious.
