Stanley Hoffmann is great scholar in the best of European and American tradition. He has been one of the USA's best sources on understanding France and Europe. He is a deep thinker who takes the long view, and does not myopically take recent events out of proportion. He is in the line of Aron and Arendt.
Tom Friedman, Bill Kristol, Zacharia or the many others that make up the US foreign policy intelligentsia are incredibly short-sighted. It is with bitter irony that Zacharia, who five years later writes "The Post-American World", should talk about US power in the way he does here. Yet, all the factors about globalization and the Rise of the Rest was already obvious 5 years ago.

Fareed got pwned. Hoffmann was absolutely, amazingly right about every single thing he said. Definitely worth watching.
