The dangers of the insta-reaction
I was going to react with instantaneous hostility to this piece. Who are these damn “world leaders” to demand a change to the U.S. approach with regards to North Korea? After undermining us on Iraq, these guys have some nerve.
And then I, quickly, remembered that the Asian countries backed us, or stayed out of the way in Iraq. It was only France and Germany, two middling former powers, who turned on the U.S.
For half a second I bought into the Media’s vision of who a world leader is. Wow, that was close. I think I need a Martini.
