Strangely - even in many ways
today, exotically - enormous
executive power within a nu-
clear State in the Western Al-
liance was accepted without
venom, without bile, without
obscene boasting, or snarling,
or sneering, or spittle at the
innocence of fact; this, by a
man who confessed that inter-
national terrorism truly does
rank among his nation's great-
est threats, right up there
with climate change and ex-
cesses of capitalism. He said
this, and went on to an open
air service at the Arc de Tri-
omphe, to commemorate catastro-
phes it was erected to extol,
and survives to mourn so openly.
Lafayette, we are here. Sorry
