No, the green light, right . The classic green light. So anyway, im here to discuss one the critical questions, i think, of our times which is why the United States assumed the role of world defender after world war ii . The question of whether we must continue this role indefinitely. Now this conversation springs from my new book which i hope is available outside but also from an oped that i wrote for the New York Times last year with the title, come home america.
