Come on Francis, we know that you're now against the war because the war proved your cornball theory was just that.
And to top it off, he endorses Obama at the end of this piece. Because Obama is all for "soft power" and global citizenship.
Oh Brave New World, that has such people in it.
Isn’t he the “End of History” dope?
The very one.
Fuku Fukuyama
Dear Mr. Francis “the end of history” Fukuyama,
President Bush enters office Jan 2001:
State sponsors of terror: Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, N. Korea, Syria, Iran
President Bush leaves office Jan 2009
No longer State sponsors of terror: Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, N. Korea
And Israel and the US just destroyed Syria’s plutonium enrichment reactors and Iran is pinned in on both sides by what are now US allies: Iraq & Afghanistan.
Thank you GWB! Steadfast leadership during difficult times and the world is indeed safer!
This has been a great week for your “end of history” thesis, Francis. That Obama endorsement really carries a lot of weight.
So Fukuyama is a Fluky-for-Obama. He was wrong with his “end of history” nonsense, flip-flopped on being a “neocon” or not (he was one, when it was unknown and cooool, and denounced them when they became the liberals favorite smear against anyone pro-Defense).
He makes an interesting argument. I happen to agree with him to an extent about Iraq not being the right war, but then he throws his support to Obama, and that is something I could NEVER do.
What I like about this article though is that it shows that one can be against the war, but believe that we are making progress in Iraq (the surge worked).
I’m worried that Saddam and his sons might one day try to re-take power.
Oh wait....
Lighten up, Francis.
Has this a$$ no shame? I've known people like this, they look you squarely in the eye and lie to you, knowing full well that you are aware that they are lying to you.
Except that Fukuyama was for the war before he was agin it.. He's a typical "pundit" ; he is in love with the sound of his own typewriter.
Fukuyama? Who? Does he play for the Chicago Cubs?
Well that was a hoot - as if Obama has anything planned ahead for his proposed acquisition of the White House at all!
It will take years to sort out the lies from the reality of what this Novice has planned (if anything), for our future.
Internationally - he is words only - no substance.
Pretender to the throne!!
I did not realize that. That article as an isolated commentary isn’t bad, but I suppose it would make him entirely hypocritical given his initial stance. Oh well, just another lame commentator.
I’m ready. Let’s start totaling up the pros and cons of the Iraq war.
We would have had to face him down sooner or later. What if Saddam were still in power and getting rich off oil revenues? What kind of geostrategic reality would we face now with an aggressive Iraq, sanctions ended no doubt, and producing WMDs on a industrial scale, like the Iranians?
Personally, I'm glad we did so sooner.
Amen.
