I just returned online moments ago, and just worked my way in my pings down to Ben Ficklin’s response to me. I thought I’d read the comments on the thread beyond his prior to responding, and glad I did.

Thanks to you both for your outstanding commentary, responses to Mr. Ficklin.

I see Mr. Ficklin is apparently gearing for debate. I won’t be responding to him any further as I won’t debate a Leftist idiot. It’s a waste of precious time.

Its not a matter of debate, but of history.

The Realists have dominated US foreign policy and the NeoCons have made their contributions.

The NeoCon's brief period of dominance was only three years from the invasion of Iraq until Iraq Study Group and the replacing of NeoCon Rumsfeld with Realist Gates.
