And that's where we're at, ain't it?
Imbeciles rule the world.
Who can look at American foreign policy over the last fifty years and not conclude that imbeciles rule the world?
We're done.
Not sure whether we're baked or cooked, but we're done.
The front-burner issues for the best and the brightest in the firmament of US foreign policy at this moment are a) can we stop the N. Korea nuke program and b) can we stop BDS.
The North Korea nuke program is 99% aspirational and 1% factual.
BDS is a cesspool of anti-semites...
Fashioning a peaceable world going forward is not even on the agenda.
Welcome to the empire of imbeciles.

John Baird's legacy; lack of diplomatic ties hampers search for Toronto pastor missing in N. Korea
Baird be gone, but the stench of his five year war on diplomacy lingers.
Baird be gone, but the stench lingers in Russia and Iran and North Korea. In theory, diplomats are the guys charged with building bridges to regimes we don't like... that's the very definition of "diplomacy."
John Baird was by every account the anti-diplomat.
Mr. Baird was about burning bridges, not building them.
Baird is now nothing more than a pungent foot-note in the history of Canada's foreign service.
Pastor Lim is just one of many Canadians paying the price.

Canadian propaganda reminiscent of North Korea
That's the verdict of Kenneth Cukier, writing in the prestigious British publication The Economist.
Hey Ken, get over yourself; this is the new Canada, Harper's Canada! That stereotype of a modest and humble people, self-effacing and quietly punching above their weight... that's so Lester Pearson!
In the new, modern, Harperite Canada, we blabber incessantly about our leadership role in this and that, when the reality is something else entirely. John Baird's Dept of Foreign Affairs and International Salvation has told us dozens of times how Canada "leads" the global fight to save women and girls. Pure bupkis!
We are now a nation that brays loudly and carries a very modest stick indeed.
Our leaders crow constantly about punching above our weight when all that means is we're a Me-Too third-rate power dropping bombs on some failed state with no air defences, in some pathetic ploy to curry favour with the big dogs in Brussels and Washington.
Times have changed, Ken... meet the new Canada.
