Falk, frankly, is not, in and of himself, terribly interesting, at least to me. He represents, however, a point of view that has been left out of American foreign policy councils since, best I can tell, at least the Carter years. And we are the worse for it.
I don't think Falk's views, or that voices views, should necessarily be followed. Often they are ideological in unduly restricting options, in cutting down the scope of one's vision, but they bring a moral concern to the enterprise that needs to be in the conversation.
The same cannot be said for Bolton. |
