I made it to the Lounge Chair at Borders this morning, and read Robert Kagan's "Of Paradise and Power." My advice is read the article instead. (Listed in this Thread's Header".) The book is just an expanded version, with nothing new to speak of, IMO. I was browsing Mona Charen's new book, "Useful Idiots: How Liberals Got It Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First." I guess she wants to "mine" the market Coulter found for her right wing book. It reminded me of all the things the right fought for before the collapse of the Soviet Union that the left would just as soon forget. The "Revisionist History" we are getting is that everybody in America was unified against the Soviet Union. Ha! She opened with a favorite quote of mine from Sydney Hook I had not heard in a while. Rings very true today. It is better to be a live jackal than a dead lion - for jackals, not men; and those who are prepared to live like men and, if necessary, die like men, have the best prospect of surviving as free men and escaping the fate of both jackals and lions.
