by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
The full text of LaRouche’s address to a March 21 webcast seminar before audiences in Washington and New York City, plus a selection from the questions and answers. “The issue is: Can the United States come to its senses, abandon the present policy, which the incumbent President has adopted so far, and get into partnership with Western Europe, together with Russia, together with Asia, to build a Eurasian economic mobilization of about a 25-year immediate perspective, long-term technology export; and build the world as a whole—including Africa, which is hopeless unless we do this; Central and South America; Australia and New Zealand. And build the rest of the world around a partnership between the United States, Western Europe, in cooperation with continental Eurasia.”
