Letters to the Editor

Treating U.S. allies like losers is not good strategy

DEAR EDITOR: Back when presidents had advisers who were expected to give them advice rather than massage their egos by telling them what they wanted to hear, Gen. Colin Powell warned George W. Bush about the dangers of invading Middle Eastern countries by quoting the Pottery Barn rule. “You ...
