03/02/11

As readers of this journal may remember, I have zero respect for the idea that the boundaries of dictatorial states are somehow sacred and that no armed forces must ever cross them. Those borders aren?t sacred to me. Yet the arrogance of the Obama administration takes my breath away ? despite the fact that there?s a long tradition of this: the Bush administration showed the same arrogance, and so did most other administrations, all the way back to Woodrow Wilson. Arrogance, and hypocrisy. When American administrations demand 'democratic reforms' in other countries, they never ask themselves whether it?s democratic for foreigners to dictate to the people who live there...
