World's most dangerous city

The world's most dangerous city -- Washington. That's according to Tony Blankley writing in Human Events:

But Washington's threat to the nation and the world is from more than acts of crass political expediency -- hardly an unknown phenomenon in any nation's capital.

I am struck -- and chilled to the bone -- by the fact that in the face of this perhaps unprecedented economic storm, both political parties (with, of course, several individual exceptions) are reflexively and unthinkingly sticking to their normal economic and policy nostrums.

He makes a very good point. The actions of politicians in Washington not only impact the lives of Americans, but very well also the lives of others in the world. It is unfortunate that they do not use their powers wisely.
