LINK: David Brooks on every American's favorite Brit. Well, you know what he means...
Me likey:
"And so no less a cultural arbiter than our own Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, has included Britain, by implication, in the realm of “New Europe”. He probably should not have said what many of us believe, which is that a new Europe, with vibrant labour markets, high growth potential and inspiring futures, is growing up around the Old Europe, which generally lacks those things. If you were a young American entrepreneur, where would you go? Warsaw, Prague or London; or Berlin or Paris? The answer is obvious. "
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
