Sane, sober, and insightful article about the myopia of the so called "realists." With realists like that, who needs neocons? The article in Foreign Affairs deserves to be taken apart, and James did a spectacular job at doing that.

The neo-conservatives have led us down a most dangerous path. They are now engaged in magical thinking, a magical thinking that will have deleterious effects.

Great analysis. This Containment strategy 2.0 will have the effect of bringing us closer to World War III. The US is trying to maintain its hegemony at all costs, when cooperation and understanding of other countries would be more productive and lead to more effective policies.

The article's comments on the journal Current Affairs is beyond true. I read their articles on a daily basis and all they do is make me angry becuase they all completely ignore reality. In today's instant information world, you can't persuade readers to your point of view unless you pay attention to the real world and show that you understand it. Everything else is simply propagfanda!
