-From 2001 to 2008, I served as America's
spokesman at the United Nations. Back then, Republicans
believed America's duty was to spread democracy
by military force. We were misled about weapons
of mass destruction. We intervened
in other countries' affairs and signed treaties that
only benefited other nations. We spent too many years
ignoring America's priorities. That's what happened when Washington stopped being
the capital of the United States and started being the capital
of the world.
