Pointing out a considerable discrepancy between data from interviews with policy makers and data from polls and focus groups, argues that Americans do not in fact want to pull back from the world as politicians seem to think. Finds that though people complain about the US playing global alpha male more than is called for, they do want to address world problems, but by working together with other countries, particularly through the United Nations.
