Entry: Rise and Shine Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/rise_and_shine#25720 Post contents: Bush is incompetent and very into cronyism. But that's not an essential part of the neoconservative vision. It only amplifies its inherent trajectory to failure. If Bush had MacArthur or Abrams or Petraus (back in '03) commanding our armed forces, Perot in charge of the border, and Pat as his press secretary, things still would have gone terribly wrong. By way of analogy, socialism got to work with some pretty decent human material in the form of the East Germans--meticulous, hard-working, and honest. It still failed miserably, because the principles on which it was built were faulty. The same is true with the global democratic revolutionary ideology the neoconservatives. Sent at: 2008 07 24
