#4 Me, I come from the "Kill them all" Allah will sort out the good ones." I remember reading about the day after Baghdad collapsed that a young soldier was sent onto the University of Baghdad campus, unarmed. Somebody walked up to him and blew his brains out. My anger was white hot rage, not at the person who shot him, but at the moron who sent him on a suicide mission, in all innocence. I still hod that rage to this day, but I keep it muffled. After all , we are all supposed to be on the same side. All warfare tells us you win by using the concept of "divide and conquer" If the COWs had just stood back and forgot about bringing "democracy" to an unwilling populace, and let them sort their own grieviences out, and not tried to micromanage the whole process, I'm sure the war would be over by now. As H. Truman said ""When you have to deal with a beast you have to treat him as a beast. It is most regrettable but nevertheless true." I believe, with the reviewer, that what Fukuyama offers "His book is sharp and shrewd, although ultimately not so devastating as he believes. The alternative he offers, by contrast, so-called realistic Wilsonianism, merely prefers ineffectual internationalism. Alas, in these difficult times, this is no alternative at all." |

#2 Charles Krauthammer:It was, as the hero tells it, his Road to Damascus moment. There he is, in a hall of 1,500 people he has long considered to be his allies, hearing the speaker treat the Iraq war, nearing the end of its first year, as "a virtually unqualified success." He gasps as the audience enthusiastically applauds. Aghast to discover himself in a sea of comrades so deluded by ideology as to have lost touch with reality, he decides he can no longer be one of them. |

#1 This is the moron that wrote history was over. All you need to do to get a book deal with massive promotion these days is froth at the mouth over Bush, Neocons and the Iraq war. Another piece of garbage for the dustbins of history. |
