wasn't it given in 2007? I thought I heard him mention a Global Warming article in "today's NYT "-- 10/07

Why does 2007 look like 1987?

I found the domestic policy section to be enlightening. But the rest was naive conventional wisdom. Democracy promotion in nearly every case has been subservient to perceived economic interests. Big oil more than anything else dominates our position in the middle east.

Democratization leads to soft power... which is getting people to want what you want.

Multilatetalism doesn't work without a global arbiter.

Ie the un imf wbo Cbo these global institutions are dedicated to make unilateral decisions the appear to be multilateral on the surface look to the countries that changes their entire economies so they can receive loans because they are third world countries these countries are essentially forced to bend the knee to these western value institutions that really don’t have a clue how detrimental these “adjustments” are

The issue with multilaterslism is that it's not as simple as people think. It often leads to a paralysis in decision making and action. And whole Rome burns... the U.S. have been forced to take unilateral policy stances that some may deem problematic.

Maybe he was trying to explain about the relation of Egypt on Middle East. I believe that he knows that Egypt is located geographically in Africa, but it's geopolitical area of influence and interaction emcompasses North Africa and Middle East for sure.
