you know in the UK they are capable of having adult debates about the disastrous roles their country played in Iraq and Libya -  

in the Globe we are treated to this kind of editorial - still writing as if we are idiots and not capable of balanced reasonable thought

failed US interventions in Iraq and Libya and its duplicitous actions in Syria have undermined the very institutions that it helped created at the end of WW II  and have opened the gates for unilateral actions on the part of Russia in the Ukraine and Syria and , China  in Asia

while it is all too easy to lay all blame at the feet of Russia  we must start to ask ourselves how did our own actions contribute to this outcome?

how is it that american exceptionalism is not open to debate at the Globe?

 the best thing the Globe can do is  forego the superior posturing and start asking tough questions about how we got here
