Thanks for that post.
No problem. While I agree with the writer of this article in some sense I think that both sides have to allow the debate on this very important issue of what our national strategy should be.
Bill Kristol on one side trying to oust any conservative who is not for war is dumb.
Similarly, Ron Paul labeling everyone who is for a pre-emption national strategy policy as a neocon and globalist is also dumb.
It’s a very important debate and one we should have. I say make your arguments and let fellow conservatives decide what is best going forward. While I like a lot of what both of them have said over the years, they are the extremes on the issue of our National Strategy post 9/11. I admit I am closer to Kristol on the issue but that in no way means that I favor getting into every possible engagement. The war in Libya is a prime example. I said we shouldn’t help the Europeans at that time and I believe that has shown to be a disaster to our national interests as well as Europe’s.
