The Routinization of Humanitarian War

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice has been on the job for 18 months now, but she doesn’t have much to show for it. Her record of accomplishments and performance on behalf of the American people is embarrassing

We are a nation of immigrants. For the better part of our history, the collective message to those immigrating was “you are joining the most successful endeavor in human history. Celebrate why you came here, not where you came from.”

The Cold War was a propaganda campaign, and propaganda invokes the soul of marketing executives more than four-star generals. Its combatants surrender to the truest song. By the 1980s, the Soviet Union teetered at the brink and the world waited for a tipping-point. Then came the thermonuclear weapon of messaging: Michael Jackson

Tenuous moments in history cultivate an appetite for extremes. And civilizations that look to the bottom for entertainment often, without irony, reserve the heights of life for nation building. We have returned to such times

The U.S. interest lies in supporting the Burmese people in their clearly stated aspirations for a more just, democratic government. The policy question remains: how to best support those aspirations?

If government insists upon regulating everything except itself, then those energies should be directed at a rather loud and rude killer: cell phones

Ford refused taxpayer money at a time when every wayward corporation had its hand out, choosing instead to take their destiny into their own hands. As a result, they emerged stronger. This is a lesson Washington should learn in preparing for the midterm elections
