Joe Klein can’t believe that the editors of the Los Angeles Times would allow someone as “overwhelmingly limited” as Jamie Kirchick to criticize Barack Obama in their pages. In particular, Kirchick’s limitation seems to be his Klein writes that because of the unilateralism and warmongering of the Bush administration:
Imagine that: one set of rules for democratic allies like India and Israel and another set of rules for the authoritarian, repressive, revolutionary regime in Tehran. I’m surprised Klein didn’t single out the outrageous double standard the United States has applied in Korea, why should the North be subjected to sanctions and intimidation from the imperialist swine in Washington while the South receives direct military support? Thank goodness the Obama administration and Joe Klein understand that all nations must be treated equally.
