For Lieven, the Creed is the part of American nationalism that made it possible for the United States to function as a "civilizational" empire that could act in ways that gained the admiration and respect of many people around the world.

In essence, Lieven argues that the United States and Israel are synonymous in the eyes of many Arabs and Muslims and that the U.S. inability to engage Israel in a critical manner threatens efforts to create genuine democracy in the region.

As a human rights activist, I am convinced that examining white nationalism and its relationship to the maintenance of racism and xenophobia should be at the center of any attempt to explain U.S. immigration policies.
