Sauce for the Goose

According to the Christian Science Monitor, North Korea and Iran will continue their nuclear efforts, claiming that peaceful nuclear energy development is their right.

'Rogue nation,' 'axis of evil,' and other diplomatic perjoratives can be translated as 'country that doesn't play by our rules.' The United States is particularly hypocritical in trying to refer other nations to the UN Security Council for violations of rules that we never have, nor ever will, respect.

Freedom is the one thing one cannot have if one is unwilling to give it to others. This applies to states as much as to individuals. By attempting to prevent the self-determination of other countries, we create security threats that make us less free.

Yours truly,
Mr. X
