Paying any price, bearing any burden By Jonathan Gurwitz
When U.S. leaders travel abroad, their visits are in some way supposed to elicit the majestic nature of the American democratic experiment.
Think of John F. Kennedy, in the midst of the Cold War, traveling to Europe in 1963 to pledge American solidarity with an outpost of democracy: "All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner!'"
