Watching America lose its moral authority in real time; Washington Post, July 14, 2017

Dana Milbank, Washington Post; Watching America lose its moral authority in real time

"I traveled with my family in Australia for three weeks as a guest of the Universities of Sydney and Melbourne, invited to explain what’s happening in President Trump’s America.

As if there were an explanation.

Of more interest was what I learned from the Australians. To visit this stalwart ally and talk with its people was to see how the United States, in the space of just a few months, has utterly lost its moral authority."
