Facing China, Russia, and Iran, US leaders should stop fighting each other

The Jan. 2 Washington Examiner headline “China unveils plan to ‘take over’ Latin America” should focus attention.

That bracing story is just one of the worrisome international developments that should impel leaders in both parties to moderate their agendas. Facing such foreign threats, this nation needs reasons for, and examples of, political unity.

Perhaps they could make (and uphold) New Year’s resolutions to that effect. As unlikely as such a development seems, we all can and should still hope.
