The wisdom of Chuck Hagel as America faces difficult choices in South Asia and other parts of the world.
01/06/2008
Chuck Hagel talks about how the US must partner with other countries, to solve common problems we face with other large countries around the world. He says President Johnson told Senator Russell that the Vietnam war was not winnable but he did not want to be the first President to lose a war. He says its not about winning or losing anymore, which is a 20th century response to the new 21st century. He points to the interconnectedness and shared interests of all nations that makes it not ours to win or lose. The situation in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan and the US involvement costing upwards of one trillion dollars by one estimate, and the severe budget deficts at home in the US.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
