They don't care about justice, but do take care in presenting themselves as acting in the interests of justice. In other words, present themselves as the 'good guys'.Peter Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473311771939167712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-778743817469111932021-01-11T13:48:06.002-05:002021-01-11T13:48:06.002-05:00That the US, unwilling to pursue justice domestica...That the US, unwilling to pursue justice domestically, has a perverse need to meddle in other countries as a distraction.Andrew Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296407661618321637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-11663700736954168722021-01-11T13:37:40.555-05:002021-01-11T13:37:40.555-05:00What do you mean?What do you mean?Peter Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473311771939167712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-48083473712267496082021-01-11T13:13:32.597-05:002021-01-11T13:13:32.597-05:00you're supposed to respect the sovereignty of ...<i> you're supposed to respect the sovereignty of other nations.</i> Peter Pan<br /><br />Except "Doing right ain't got no end" when it has no beginning.Andrew Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296407661618321637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-66153685736763935742021-01-11T13:02:21.704-05:002021-01-11T13:02:21.704-05:00No matter what ism you're into, you're sup...No matter what ism you're into, you're supposed to respect the sovereignty of other nations.<br /><br />We have had a multipolar world since about 2010, but don't tell Tom.Peter Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473311771939167712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-77895651565372697492021-01-11T12:21:08.949-05:002021-01-11T12:21:08.949-05:00hich, of course, is hypocritical and casts doubt o...<i>hich, of course, is hypocritical and casts doubt on the commitment to actual liberalism.</i> Tom Hickey<br /><br />What is there to be committed to?
