LOL -- unilateral is a word in the English language. The article from which you quoted attempts to make the case for a pragmatic foreign policy that is context dependent. It acknowledges US unilateralism as US policy and seeks to set it aside as the main policy issue, preferring instead to advocate a case-by-case policy. We have a policy of unilateralism. He thinks we should not have a policy of unilateralism, but one of being unilateral only in some circumstances. His use of the term unilateral is loose and imprecise, but the article on balance does nothing to support the idea that we should change the English language because you don't like what the word unilateral means.
