Qualche giorno fa sul San Francisco Chronicle era uscito un pezzo assai carino: come un golden retriever può insegnarci meglio la politica estera. Il tutto nato dall’osservazione dei comportamenti di questo cane chiamato Oliver.
Oliver’s lesson for the United States in trying to shape the world is that the more we look like a normal, self-interested state, the more we lose our claim to lead other nations and their peoples. To lead, we have to demonstrate that we are taking their interests into account as well as our own.
