Dear Editor,
It's time the assumed role of the United Kingdom and the United States as global policemen and dispensers of what passes for justice was questioned.
That post-war arrangement is, in fact, a challenge to global democracy, and if it was questionable in 1945, it's highly dubious now.
Under the Thatcher, Reagan, and Bush administrations, the fomer allies became overbearing, self-interested and aggressive, even to the point of openly defying the United Nations.
The era of childish global power games must end, finally.
