What should I deplore and what should I applaud? If my country does something bad, it warns people thereby, "Don't trust us." If my country does something good, it encourages trust and respect. But suppose it has as yet no settled character. Suppose it is likely to re-produce disasters, democratically, over and over. Then any bad action is at least a good warning, and any good action may beckon the freedom and life-loving people of the world: "Stick out your necks, farther -- just a little farther." I should applaud anything that gives my country a settled good character and makes evil unlikely. Failing that, I should applaud anything that makes my country less dangerous, at its worst, less seductive, at its best.
