# Containing Runaway Fear in Foreign Policy: Recovering Our National Identity

"Containing Runaway Fear in Foreign Policy: Recovering Our National Identity" was discussed by William F. May, holder of the Cary and Ann Maguire Chair in Ethics and American History , at the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress. In his presentation, May discussed the religious apprehensions, such as good versus evil, embedded in American politics. He looked at American foreign policy during the last 60 years, as political anxieties in the West shifted from the mind-set during the Cold War (the West vs. tyranny) to the current apprehensions (the West vs. anarchy).
