Matt Yglesias Is My Tom Friedman

Few people beat Matt Yglesias for unapologetic mix of pop culture and geopolitics, and it’s pure genius.

E.g., riffing on Ultimates 2 from Marvel, he says the comic book…

…illustrates key liberal views about international relations, namely about the importance of doing nuclear non-proliferation policy through legitimate international institutions rather than coalitions of the willing and/or random superhero teams.

Awe. some.

Update: Ah… a correspondent has noted that my headline can be misconstrued as a slam. In fact I mean that, whereas some people turn to Tom Friedman for cues on foreign policy, I turn to Matt Yglesias.
