ABOUT THE TOPIC
Last April, during his State of the Union speech, President Biden declared that “. . . our greatest strength is the power of our example . . . . ” He vowed that “America is back” yet would not “go it alone.” Given 20 years and two trillion dollars in the failed Afghanistan mission, what now constitutes that power? How might it be deployed? And what do Americans think about U.S. involvement abroad?
