Alan Black | Posted 10.30.2009 | Books
"What's that?" I asked. "A literary fortress," he said, "And a metaphor." I walked around the battlements. Thick hardback tomes lay beneath stacks of paperbacks rising into walls and turrets.

Obama to world: Don't expect America to fix it all
AP | BEN FELLER | Posted 11.23.2009 | Home
In a blunt challenge to his nation's critics, President Barack Obama on Wednesday exhorted world leaders who once accused the United States of acting alone to now join with him in solving global crises rather than wait for America to do it on its own.
In his first address to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama sought to set a new tone in U.S. relations, moving away from the unilateralism of his predecessor, George W. Bush. He coupled conciliatory words about a "new era of engagement" with a summons for other nations to shoulder more of the burden.
"Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world's problems alone," Obama said.
"Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."
Obama said past policies and a perception of unilateralism by the United States had fed "an almost reflexive anti-Americanism" that too often was used as an excuse for inaction.
