It is genuinely hard to say what comes out of this stew but we do need to watch the historical revisionism. The overall mission of the Bush admin after 911 was to break the pattern of the governments in the ME. They started out with the one we were already in a shooting war with, Iraq. I remember a host of reasons given, you want to pin it on WMD. Water over the dam now. When you win, the reasons you started with don't get remembered. I think history will come down on my side, but we will both be past the feeding tube stage when that is decided. The ME anthill has been kicked open, and the sunshine is causing a lot of running for cover. You will see a lot of posts on Academia. My side is starting to win a long, slow battle toward "diversity" there. Your side swung the pendulum too far to the left in their hiring, and will now have to watch it swing back. I get a kick out of the academics who claim that the reason for all the liberal hires is because the best talent available is all liberal, the conservative ones aren't smart enough. Reminds me of 60 years ago when their predecessors claimed the same thing about black and female applicants when defending the all white male ivory towers.
