Management or Confrontation? - The Brent Scowcroft problem frames Scowcroft in the photo of Neville Chamberlain holding aloft the paper which bore the signature of Herr Hitler: an erudite ass.
Some small discussion of the utility of intellectuals, but the dead horse in the living room is the unbelievable arrogance of the man who believes Saddam Hussein can be managed.
The Derbyshire piece ought to be read for the snapshot of Scowcroft toasting Li Peng and the other Tiananmen Square butchers.
Lost in the nose-on-the-ground bean-counting of odd, odd reptiles like Scowcroft is the dismembered-body-in-the-bag aspect of the Saddams, the Hitlers, the Li Pengs.

Makes you wonder how much Neville Chamberlain got paid by the Nazis and Hitler to do want he did, Which came close to allowing the Nazis and their Japanese allies gain the ability to damn near destory freedom in in our world in Chamberlain's time. How many innocent Brits died in the sieze as a result of Chamberlain wh$ring for the Axis/Nazis/Hitler?
