Entry: To Hell with Joe Klein! Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/to_hell_with_joe_klein#32686 Post contents: But! The link between our unwavering support for Israel and the Arab enmity against us SHOULD be cause of concern for all, right or left. "They're over here because we're over there," as Ron Paul had the nerve to say. Klein may not matter, but the neoconservative domination of government does... there's been plenty of neoconniving in both Dem and GOP administrations for decades, and in my view noninterventionists should ally with whomever to see this stopped, to see the blood of our troops stop spilling in order to protect some other sovereign people—especially Israel, which has ample means to defend itself, even to pursue conquest if that was her desire. This is one of the crucial issues of our time, which is why an old right voice like Paul, who could have gotten away with most of his Goldwater-ish views on the debate stage, saw fit to make a HUGE deal out of our blunder in Iraq, thereby negating any significant draw on the new right and making himself a mockee at the debates. If you have to pick your battles, it seems this is one we should be picking for the time being... and since Paul's out and Barr/Baldwin have no chance, if that means an Obama administration that couldn't possibly outspend Bush II's, so be it.
