unfortunately, on libya the policy was too late to come to a coherent policy. i m happy that gadhafi is not going to be around in libya. i think the administration didn t handle that well because they waited too long to move way or the other. they had to make a move early and be decisive. not doing that has allowed this to go on longer. the world will be a better place that gadhafi is not in charge of libya. one of the most important roles we play is to be an example to the world to show you can have prosperity and still be a compassionate country. that market forces and the free economy allow people to overcome circumstances of their birth and live a life their parents couldn t imagine. the fact that we exist. the fact that america exists is an inspiration to people all over the world. ronald reagan knew that he knew it wasn t so much what we said, it is how we live. the fact that if america was america, the rest of the world would be better. sean: imf says the chinese
