Nothing to Celebrate
Three months remain before the United States celebrates a historic milestone: the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
In normal circumstances, this would not have been a complicated moment. World leaders would have gathered in Washington to celebrate the familiar pieties of liberty, justice, democracy, and American leadership of the free world.
But circumstances are not normal.
During the past two years, the US has sanctioned the International Criminal Court, is on a mission to put the United Nations out of business, launched a military strike in Venezuela and captured its president, threatened Greenland, and participated in what most informed observers regard as a genocide in Gaza.
