You have to appreciate the sophisticated foreign-relations analysis provided by American TV news. Here’s how Brian Williams opened the NBC Nightly News last night:
Good evening from Havana, Cuba, the host city for what is called the Summit of Non-Aligned Nations–in short, all of the enemies of the United States, really, gathered in one room.
The Non-Aligned Movement includes, of course, such notorious America-haters as India, Pakistan, South Africa, and Saudia Arabia.
Hat-Tip: DK at Talking Points Memo.
And the Bahamas! Now there’s an occupation I wouldn’t mind signing up for.
It’s pretty obvious that Williams did not mean that all countries there were America-haters. Rather, he meant that all of the America-haters were there.
