This kind of builds on some of my earlier posts on US foreign policy and the war in Iraq. All of the surprise and disbelief about our current course was laid out in print by several influential members of the current administration (most notably Paul Wolfowitz) in Present Dangers: Crisis and opportunity in American foreign and defense policy, originally published in October 2000. With no clear opposition coming from the Democrats, I shudder to think what 4 more years of that ignorant playboy puppet and his neoconservative handlers will bring. At least I can go down laughing thanks to the Daily Show, about which there was a great article on Salon yesterday. If you don’t subscribe, you can get a free pass to see the article by watching an ad or something.
