Truth

Here’s an elegantly-put provocative thought which I happen to agree with:

The United States government has always engaged in war crimes and human rights violations. What’s different this decade is that, under the leadership of a terrible president, our elites have become vociferous advocates of the goodness and rightness of war crimes and human rights violations.

As Mr. Henley suggests, this newfound frankness is all to the bad. I’ve come to appreciate in the past eight years how important duplicitousness in foreign policy talk actually is.

Discuss.
