Neocons have -friends-? Whoda thunk it?

Fukuyama's article was great, BTW.

Yeah, he's a very glib guy, and a smart one. He always shines an interesting

He's especially good for things like this, giving a good rundown of

and philosophers in the whole neocon project. But don't take him without
some skepticism.

I seldom work without a shaker of salt handy, Ed. I don't read enough

welcome the summaries I'll never reach on my own.


He has the heart of a writer/professor, with an overweening
need to have it all make sense, even when it doesn't make a lot of it.

Heh heh heh. That last sentence shows that you grok the concept in its
