What We're Up Against
Anyone who thought Bush's second term would mean a moderation of the neoconservative agenda of perpetual war was bound to be bitterly disappointed – and the bad news is already confirmed. The moderates are out – the radicals are in.
They're talking about Paul Wolfowitz – the intellectual architect of the Iraq war – as the new National Security Advisor. Rumsfeld will stay – and Colin Powell, the lone voice of moderation in the top foreign policy councils of this administration, is rumored to be on the way out.
Bereft of restraint, or common sense, this ideology-driven administration is determined to spread the gospel of "democracy" with evangelical zeal – at gunpoint, whether the peoples of the Middle East want it or not.
The neoconservatives who took control of American foreign policy early on in this administration are only just now hitting their stride. It's war, war, and yet more war – war without mercy.
