Fascinating read. It will take me awhile to read fully through before I comment though. Thanks for posting.
It is so rare to read a fair analysis of neoconservatives. This was quite good. I appreciate it being posted.
Neoconservatives are correct. They will always be correct until the last tyranny falls on this bloody earth.
What always strikes me— even in a good article like this one— is how little criticism is brought against passivity.
What is the morality of passivity? What is so great about realistically allowing hamas to continue with its renewed fervor for honor killings after seizing power in Gaza?
What makes passivity about any of the doznes of heinious regimes that exist on this earth an ideal or good policy?
It seems frankly absurd to me.
I have wondered given the peculiar public ambivalence about such evil if we might pursue what I call the Sports solution.
In this solution, despotic leaders such as Mugabe, Kim Jong Il, Castro, Ahmadinejad and the like would be picked up from international locales by our armed forces. They would be brought back to America and be given custody of major sports teams in basketball, baseball and football. Americans could then begin to learn who these fools are while the despots would be removed from custodial control of millions of lives. They would merely torment spoiled sports figures that are over paid and over pampered. Surprise murders on the field might shock some fans— it is difficut to say— but the overall global carnage would be considerably reduced.
Wishful thinking on the part of liberals and “progressives”. Conservativism will be back, because it gets its biggest assist from its opponents.
The disagreement with Islam goes deeper than the disagreement with Communism, but unlike the disagreement with Communism, neo-conservatives (and almost everyone else) remain mum.
We don't want to hurt Muslim's feelings, I guess, but there comes a point...
Just do what's right.
Thanks. Need more coffee to read this one.
Good find. Thanks for posting this.
