American Views Abroad

 
Mike Lupica writes in the New York Daily News on this Christmas Day:

We all want to pretend we are still safe in a world less safe than it has ever been, and not just because of the way those planes blew up two of our buildings five years ago, because of so much that has happened since, because of a war that has cheapened our stature around the world and affected our eceonomy in ways that will be felt a hundred years from now, a war that only the White House still thinks is making things better in the world. Making things right somehow. Because if the war is right then this President is right. About something. You want things to be better than this. You want to dream the way parents have always dreamt, the big one about leaving their children a better world. Only we have not done that. On our watch things have become worse.
