This headline appeared in the email "Today's Headlines" from the New York Times today.
Pakistani Sets Emergency Rule, Defying the U.S.
The question in my mind is: If Pakistan is a sovereign nation, isn't any action its government takes based on its own authority? And if that's true, how can any action they take be "defying the U.S."?
The New York Times seems to have bought in to the idea that the United States is the boss of all other countries in the world. Poor headline writing. Shame on the Times.
More later,
