Still, I have been struck by the sullen tone of U.S. media in reporting
NATO's blunder. There has been a finger-wagging component in much of
the coverage, cautioning the Chinese not to get carried away protesting
this incident. American morality has been so (further) corrupted by
NATO's intervention that we now clearly resent third parties for getting
in the way of our indiscriminate bombing.
