There is much to learn still from the early morning New Year’s Day vehicular attack on a crowded Bourbon Street in New Orleans this first day of 2025. Although details are still being released, what has been shared seems to suggest that we enter this new year faced with an old international/foreign policy problem. I think this is fitting, considering the catastrophe and chaos that the US government has continued to perpetuate in the Middle East. And I believe this is one of those moments that we should remember where we were when it happened.
