As I’ve noted elsewhere, there are two parties nowadays: the US party, and the UN party. The former includes Republicans and Democrats who have an inordinate, romantic, and almost quaint attachment to the Constitution and the notion of national sovereignty. The latter regard nation-states as subsets of a global construct that values unanimous impotence over individual effort, and values procedure over results.
God, I wish I had written that. I'd be happy to be able to write that well. It crystallizes my objections to the anti-defense left (neologism courtesy of Poet and Peasant).
