It is one thing to not punish developed countries for a history of irresponsibility on the basis that they were ignorant of the harmful effects, and it is another thing to reward harmful behavior.

So what lessons might the U.S. President draw from one of the most successful politicians of modern times...
...policy detail and extraordinary powers of concentration. But she evaluated policy options against a very short set of criteria. Did a proposal reduce taxation or increase it? Did it expand economic freedom or restrict it? Did it strengthen Britain's role in the world or diminish it? Did it reward initiative or encourage dependency? Keeping things simple enabled her to maintain focus on what she really wanted to achieve...
