I hope Bennett really doesn't belong on that list, but you might also add Biden to it.

It is interesting how the term "neo-con" is spun. Kristol calls himself a neoconservative, and has used the word as often as he has "hegemony", if that's possible. I recommend a long and depressing dogpile.com search using the two words, "Balkan" and "neoconservative." You'll find a lot of Kristol's academic papers: the stuff he got grants to write.

So Kristol can write about neoconservatism, but you're not allowed to say the word "neoconservative" on pain of being called an antisemite. And there are types anxious to remind you of your speech restrictions.

I'm afraid he does.

You are exactly right!

And thanks for the reminder about the neocons' shameful record on the Balkans. (Buchanan was foursquare against the US war on Serbia, as you probably recall).
