"

American leadership in the world is also challenged by some today. To remain strong, they say, America must give up its advocacy of freedom and human dignity abroad.

This represents a failure of memory.

A world without United States leadership does not mean a world in which our values and interests peacefully coexist with other countries.

If it meant countries could live peacefully pursuing their interests, there would be more to recommend the United States retreating from the world.

Instead, it means a world with Chinese values devoted to Chinese interests.

It means a world with Russian values devoted to Russian interests.

It means a world in which radical Islam runs rampant.

That is a dark place for American values and a dangerous place for American security.

It would be nicer and cheaper if American leadership was not needed to protect our values and our interests. Sadly, that’s not the world we live in."
