Solid piece from Tom Friedman today. While I'm not sure that Rummy's press conference nationalism "resonated" with me, Friedman is right on the mark about the attitudes of our current administrations foreign policy, especially in comparing our "defense policy" to our other international policies, including Kyoto:
We will never be taken seriously by the world if we go on telling others that they are either with us or against us in the war on terrorism — but that in the war for a greener planet, in the war against global warming, sorry, we're not with you, we're taking a powder, because we don't want to give up our energy gluttony. President Bush promised that he would offer a credible alternative to the Kyoto treaty. Where is it?
