NYT trying to inculcate a philosophy of non-critical thinking in a time when there is so little. They're hoping that your valid overstressing concerns will translate into forgiveness for your national identity as well. They're also hoping that you'll feel sympathy for powerful figures, such as when they advocate war and get criticism for it. Please keep those two things seperable in your mind. Harsh criticism in nearly unlimited quantities is very healthy when directed at the powerful.
