"At the moment, he's a research associate at the Center for the Study of Values in Public Life at Harvard Divinity School."

Dont doubt his credentials or his right to speak, but perhaps they are not the credentials of a FP expert? In that article he did not sound like a reasonable man, much like krugman. Mike

Disagreement is fine with someone like that; but he's definitely not a nut.


My, My, John. Quite a response to my short take on our Brother in Christ. Feeling "Peckish" today? I see it is down to around 12 degrees there.

No matter what his credentials, that column was a rant. His background tells us why. An Vietnam anti-war teenager with a Military father. Ya gotta rebel. Pat Conroy has built a whole Literary career by doing that type of thing.

I see that Powell kicked a little UN butt today. We are getting down to tank warmup time.

Leaving aside the issue of what and does not constitute a political rant, sort of an ironic point for a WSJ/NRO aficionado to bring up, Carroll does indeed have something to say about anti-semitism, though of course not in the locally favored "Thou shalt speak no ill of Richard Perle or you're . . . " sense. Even Andrew Sullivan, the warblogger's warblogger, liked what Carroll had to say on that front. #reply-18036069 , andrewsullivan.com .
