Fight the Powers That Be from the Economist [of London]
"William Kristol, as ever, manages to distill the rot down to its ludicrous essence: “What’s the harm of bombing them at least for a few weeks and seeing what happens? ... The fact that Americans are outraged by oppressive governments, but lack a realistic theory of how stable governments come into being, means that it is easy to generate political support for attacking undesirable states and organisations, but hard to generate support for building anything to replace them."
"“What’s the harm of bombing them at least for a few weeks and seeing what happens?..." This is so breath-takingly stupid -- and yet, it really DOES distill so much of what passes for the GOP's approach to foreign affairs.
