Nonetheless, I begin from a recent Crimson editorial deploring the loss of America??€™s international reputation under the Bush administration. Reputation for what? I ask. A reputation for being agreeable and nice, or for acting strongly and successfully? No foreign policy move so far of President Obama has done more for our reputation than ordering the very humane shooting, with no interrogation, of three pirates...
...would deny that Harvard is a pretty darn cerebral place. As we’re so often reminded, it’s America??€™s oldest college, home to Nobel-prize winning faculty and students who are the country’s best and brightest.

The Bush administration’s refusal to be honest about what happened at Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib not only hurt its credibility at home but also inspired much hatred, indignity, and anti-Americanism abroad. If the Obama administration...
