"...The post-Second World War generation has thrown away much of our parents' legacy, including the legacy of strong, popularly elected governments acting on behalf of the people. Here and across the Atlantic, the looming question is whether our societies can hold together and function effectively without such states."
Regarding 'strong' democratic governments, I think he is talking here mainly about European governments, the West in general, not the US government, which has always prided itself on being a weak government.
