BOOK - Foreign Policy Begins at Home

"Is the U.S. Overreaching Abroad?" PBS Newshour 5/28/2013

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour):  Finally tonight, the second of two conversations about America's role in the world.

Last week, Margaret Warner talked to former State Department Vali Nasr, who offered a behind-the-scenes critique of policy-making in the Obama administration.

Tonight, Margaret gets a different view.

MARGARET WARNER (Newshour):  The United States is overreaching abroad and under-performing at home -- that's the thesis of Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass in his new book, "Foreign Policy Begins at Home:  The Case for Putting America's House in Order."

It's a surprising viewpoint from a former top State Department and National Security Council official.

Richard Haass joins me now to discuss his book and his recommendations for rebalancing our country's priorities.
