Iran Inaugurates a President Tied to a Massacre

The former Secretary of D.H.S. faced criticism for misspending funds, prioritizing her own self-promotion, and reflexively defending even the most brutal acts of the Trump Administration’s deportation efforts.

A foreign policy freed of liberal pretenses and imperial ambitions could lead to restraint—or, as the Iran attack shows, simply license hit-and-run belligerence.
