Is The Real Action On Climate Policy In The States?
Did Those Bank CEOs Deliberately Skip Out on Obama?
This was a matter of American interest. More than that: it was actually an American matter. And the contempt that Great Britain, particularly Scotland, and Libya have shown the United States in it is a fact with which we must conjure, lest this drama in four parts otherwise define, delimit and demean our very position in world affairs.
