...None of those notions is new; all of them, indeed, have been discussed ad nauseam since the end of the Cold War. But Rasmussen seems to understand that if NATO does not act on such ideas soon, the irrelevance that has haunted it will become a reality.

Confidence, even if it's faked, makes life more interesting. Instead of wondering if he can write, swim, act, rap, get an M.B.A., be a cop, wrestle, fight in mixed martial arts or give himself ridiculous nicknames, he does it. And the results are often pretty good. O'Neal's tweets are funny and honest and, unlike most other people's, rarely notify us that he is sleeping...
