Yesterday, the USA showed it cares nothing for the international order.<\/p>\n
Who will care now for Gaza?<\/p>\n
The West Bank?<\/p>\n
Ukraine?<\/p>\n
Greenland?<\/p>\n
Canada?<\/p>\n
The Baltic states?<\/p>\n
Taiwan?<\/p>\n
Who, too, will care for oppressed people anywhere?<\/p>\n
And the refugees who flee in fear?<\/p>\n
And those who face terror from foreign powers because of who they are and what they believe?<\/p>\n
Once, we presumed these were issues we could walk away from. We paid a terrible price for doing so.<\/p>\n
Will we have to do so again? Or might some vestige of what we had learned by 1945 still save us?<\/p>\n
This is an issue to reflect on.<\/p>\n
It is a matter that requires the greatest scrutiny.<\/p>\n
It is one where brave leadership is demanded.<\/p>\n
Are we possessed of such a thing?<\/p>\n
The moment when we found out might have arrived.<\/p>\n
