THE REAL COWBOYS

“The reason Powell is now so adamantly pro-war is therefore no mystery and no surprise. He is not a former dove who has become a hawk. He is a multilateralist who is actually being consistent. His position is now what it has always been. He naively believed that the U.N. wouldn’t actually pass a resolution it would subsequently revoke under pressure. And the source of his anger at Paris and Berlin is not because of natural differences, but because they are the ones now threatening a complete collapse of international collective security. They are the cowboys now.” – from my latest column, posted opposite.
