Watching America: Will It Listen to Foreigners, or Do as It Pleases?
This has been the World Economic Forum that the United States government largely passed by. In a world that both respects and fears American power, there is worry that the United States does not care what others think.
Or, as Tony Blair, the prime minister of Britain, put it in a speech to the forum, "If America wants the rest of the world to be part of the agenda it has set, it must be part of their agenda, too." He added, "What people want is not for America to concede, but for America to engage."
