Gary Pax Carbondale, U.S. Time to Rebuild Relations Columnist Charles Krauthammer's contemptuous dismissal of America's need for allies in today's dangerous world was breathtaking in its neocon unilateralism and arrogance [Jan. 12]. As he scorned the need for traditional U.S. allies, Krauthammer also acknowledged that the "war on many fronts" is consuming American "blood and treasure" while China builds an economic and military superpower and Europe "knits itself into another continental colossus."
