the war years is a catastrophe as we walk away from status what happens with the rise of hitler and mussolini? so we know but if you attempt to apply jefferson's realism to our situation now, the verdict i offer is we are perfectly positioned as a superpower just between the atlantic and the pacific go both ways and in that interdisciplinary approach isolation is impossible. it doesn't exist anymore. the question is and if we are a superpower but what kind? and on that score, a couple things that remember we began as a period of power. what would washington do about iraq? said first of all, he would not know where iraq was. second he would say how did they get to be the british? second, we are the first republic with a democratic foundation that believes the answer is consensus and empire believes the ultimate is coercion republic cannot be an empire what does that mean? because we are a democracy for all american commitments and eventually they will lose favor. exceptionalism to washington means exactly the opposite what it means to most people now. now it means god takes care of men women c

democracies were under strain from demagogs such as in italy when mussolini destroyed liberal institutions and established control in the 1920s. and this was all amid the growth of populism, racism, and anti-semitism which were used to divide countries and exclude various minorities outside the real nation. of course, because of these pressures in the 1920s, we got the 1930s. the historian timothy snyder makes a distinction in his new book, the road to unfreedom between what he calls the politics of inevitable, the faith that it's all going to work out and the politics of eternity. the latter is for people like putin. you can bend and even reverse that arc of history. snyder describes how putin did just that in ukraine refusing to accept that it was inevitably joining hands with the west. now putin may not win, the efforts of people like him to reverse the progress of the past might not succeed. but it will take more effort from those on the other side. things are not simply going to work themselves out while we watch. history is not a hollywood movie. for more, go to cnn.com/fareed and re
