...missed the opportunity to launch a Marshall Plan for the Arab World, rebuilding our public diplomacy to challenge repressive regimes, encourage moderates and women and engage anti-modern zealots in a battle of ideas. We missed the opportunity to unite the West in our common goal of a successful Afghanistan, a stable Iraq, and victory against terrorism. We missed the opportunity to expand trade and technology to developing nations and lead the charge against global poverty with AIDS treatment, family planning and micro-loans to emerging small businesses.
