In todays biggest news story,
Japan Accuses China of Bad Manners. Just wait till they encounter John Bolton. America should be able to make China look like a proper country with diplomats who are courtious and respectfull.
The story reminds me of the difference between covilized and uncivilized countries. Civilized countries care about diplomatic relations. And, it may seem silly and trite at some times, but it keeps the world peaceful. Uncivilized countries lie about other countries, lie to their allies, and lie to their friends, they have no honor and dont treat friend or foe with respect.
Which category is America in: Civilized or uncivilized?
