Demise of Fidel Castro: WSJ Mary O'Grady Anastasia
William Cohen and Gary Hart write: Wise leaders such as Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall and Acheson constructed a temple in which freedom could thrive and economies could prosper. The interior of the temple may be in need of renovation, but Mr. Trump should not pull apart its central pillars and bring it crashing down. – New York Times
Michael Singh writes: A recent survey by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs revealed that Americans of all parties still believe in U.S. global leadership. As they return to the White House, Republicans should make the case for a foreign policy that will deliver leadership in an increasingly competitive world, and do so successfully and sustainably. This is vital not only for American citizens but also for the multitudes abroad who still regard the United States as the world’s best hope because they so directly know the alternatives. – National Review (subscription required) Robert Ford writes: There is time to reassure friends around the world, and the United States possesses very capable professional diplomatic and military personnel to help the new administration team do that. Before we can do that, however, the new administration needs to define whether it actually wants to maintain America’s leading role, what it wants from allies, and how firmly attached it truly is to the values of the international order that the United States created after the cataclysm of World War II. – War on the Rocks Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, under siege domestically but widely seen as a pillar of Western liberalism, announced on Sunday that she will seek a fourth term next year. – New York Times
Mothers trembled with anger demanding justice for sons shot dead during protests that ushered in democracy. Former prisoners described being tortured, humiliated and forced to engage in homosexual acts…. That was just the first day of testimony in long-awaited public hearings by Tunisia’s Truth and Dignity Commission, an effort unique in the Arab world to salve the wounds from nearly 60 years of dictatorship and give a modicum of recognition and respect to the victims and their families – New York Times
