“In thundering attacks on Iran’s government that started Saturday, Israel and the United States appear to have shredded what remains of the liberal, rules-based world order. The head of the United Nations – the pinnacle of that order – called the attacks a threat to international security. Yet as much as that charge might be true, President Donald Trump nonetheless has left open a door to an essential value that has sustained that order for decades. He told the Iranian people in a video that they themselves, not American soldiers with boots on the ground in Iran, must ultimately choose to be free from the regime – one that has denied basic rights, killed dissenters by the thousands, and sown terror abroad. Liberty, in other words, is first a mental commitment.” (03/01/26)
