“It is the USA and Canada versus the world at this point,” one observer noted on Twitter as Boeings started to jam tarmacs globally. The next day, Canada followed the rest of the world, leaving the United States as the lone hold-out for several hours – until President Donald Trump issued an emergency order grounding the plane. The astonishingly fast international reaction left the United States stumbling to defend an eventually untenable position —and China looking like a responsible, safety-conscious guardian of the skies. On average, I think the traditional position of an American (and by extension --- maybe to a smaller extent --- also the rest of the "five white guys") is an insular one. What worries me is that the payback for all the hubris ..... maybe 50-70+ years worth ..... is going to come, and in spades. The only question is when. Older cultures, by definition, have long memories. Baffles me how people seem to not see this. Or disregard it.
