The Road to 9/11

by Elan Journo
 
In this talk, Elan Journo, a fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute, argues that Americans have continually been offered a false alternative in foreign policy: self-sacrificing, "idealistic" policies (such as Bush's crusade) or unprincipled "practical" policies (such as appeasing Iran)—a choice between two fundamentally selfless, and thus self-destructive, approaches. What America needs instead is a practical, principled approach to foreign policy, one informed by Ayn Rand's revolutionary morality of rational egoism.
