"Carole King. Carole King? Look, this doesnât exactly connect with the MTV audience. This connects with the guys in the Obligatory Rectal Examination demographic, and theyâre not watching MTV."

"Itâs an appeal to those who always say â always - that we âsquanderedâ the goodwill of the world after 9/11. But in certain quarters that âgoodwillâ was equal parts pity, schadenfreude and the belief that we would now realize the errors of our ways. And note how no one ever talks about how the Palestinian Authority squandered the goodwill it got from the Oslo Accords. The Squander, it would seem, is a bird unique to our nation, and we alone are responsible for its care and feeding."

Do we weight the nations for population and the nature of the government? If the UN is on our side, and most of the governments are autocracies, does that lend legitimacy to our efforts? âI intend to pursue a foreign policy that faces up to realities.â These realities apparently do not include the nature of nations, which is to act in their self-interest above all. Unless he thinks all those Syrian vetoes were done out of high-minded principles."
