UN ambassador Haley: 'The era of the United States leading from behind is over'

"Soon after coming to the U.N. last year, we decided we weren't going to silently accept that anymore. Israel is our great friend," Haley said to applause.

"We've made these changes to have the back of our friend and ally Israel, absolutely, but we're also sending the message that the era of the United States leading from behind is over," she added.

"Leading from behind" was the worst post-World War II foreign policy decision since perhaps committing U.S. ground troops to Vietnam.

What made it even worse is that the policy implied that America isn't good enough to lead the world as the sole superpower, that somehow, most of the problems of the world were our fault, and it was better we withdraw from international leadership on a host of issues.

Good riddance to "Leading from behind."

U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley told an audience at Duke University that changes in U.S. policies toward Israel and Cuba signal an end to "The era of the United States leading from behind."

The Obama administration created policies that refused to acknowledge and use American military, economic, and moral superiority in international relations.
