Liberal interventions

Review of Samantha Power's book-the "education of an idealist."

In it she supports moral diplomacy, the US righting all that is wrong in the world. Note that she unmasked more people than anyone else in the Obama spying scandal.

She is exactly what is wrong with DC. People think they are gods and can fix all right and wrong. Libya and Kosovo were moral diplomacy and unmitigated disasters. They are failed states with drugs and warlords. Our current difficulties with Russia can be in part explained by their distrust with our double standards. Borders are inviolable, but not for Slavs like their traditional ally Serbia. Ethnic cleansing is bad, except when applied to "bad guys" like the Serbs in Croatia. Self determination is important, but not when applied to Serbs trapped in Bosnia or Kosovo.

I do enjoy when the right makes Bernie's points about the DNC establishment for him.

Just because people agree on the problem doesn't mean they agree on the solution

I like seeing Bernie voters rehashing the same complaints Trump voters had in 2016 verbatim. Hambone's right. The two sides have a common enemy.
