KerryBrings Image of Dapper Diplomacy to Ugly Face of Washington Imperialism

Watching American politics is a bit like watching American-style gladiator wrestling on television. Part of you wants to flick on to the next TV channel for something more satisfying, edifying and real, but still you watch the stupefying spectacle with all its bluster and hype.
