He's now backtracking. It is clear that the utopia that Clintoon, Fukuyama, Gore, T.L. Friedman and other various and sundry transnational progressives planned as of the early to mid 90s is not to be. The world appears to be returning to a another cycle similar to the one which occurred 1895 - 1945. The death of the nation state has been declared prematurely. Globalism is in its last hurrah for quite a while and various centralizations of power are imminent.
History is the cemetery of utopias.
