Perhaps when she made the claim “As it relates to Asian designer labels and fashion in Asia more generally,” Lin led herself astray. She doesn’t notice that Asian designer labels and fashion in Asia are separate entities. At Project East, we showed designers from New York Fashion Week, who had Asian backgrounds. Perhaps Lin thought that these designers’ Asian backgrounds meant that they show in Shanghai, Tokyo, or Seoul and would thus affect consumption in such areas...
...about the common good and the individual good are entertained, disputed, and resolved. It should not have to shudder at the specter of busybody protestors and petition-signing extortionists. Moral indignation is an important passion for politics—it serves as a corrective to abstract cold reason gone astray. But it is nevertheless extremely powerful and should be used wisely. We should hope and pray for the abject of Darfur or Myanmar; but we cannot immanentize the eschaton—bring Heaven to earth—in hoping to ameliorate theirs and every other situation needing improvement.

...Burma's generals have led their nation astray. Obsessed with maintaining power above all else, the army has repeatedly turned its guns against its own people, most tragically in 1988 when a student-led protest movement was crushed, leaving some 3,000 dead. Nor do army leaders perceive threats to their authority coming only from inside the country. "Than Shwe grew up under colonial occupation by the British and the Japanese," says Thailand-based Burmese military analyst Win Min, "so he is a nationalist to the point of xenophobia [who] believes military rule is the only way to keep...
