America’s Friends

March 3rd, 2025

This letter of mine was published two days ago in the Capital Times of Madison, Wisconsin. It was also published this morning in the Boston Globe.

Henry Kissinger is said to have quipped, “It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”

During Kissinger’s time as secretary of state, the people of South Vietnam found that statement that to be true. Since then, the Afghans have learned that lesson the hard way.

It seems like the Ukrainians will also discover that Kissinger was right.
