The quote in the title is from Glenn Close’s character in the movie “Fatal Attraction.” Nation states, of course, have to behave a bit more rationally on the world stage.
Obviously, the Administration can’t be too public about the private deals the State Department cut with the different coalition partners. Their political heads are counting on the Administration to provide political cover, and shield them from embarrassing domestic charges that they sent troops off to die to benefit their own corporate interests—lest, to borrow another literary allusion, their voters send them out behind the figurative barn and let them pet the bunny rabbits.
