Thanks for your link to the exchange - very pleased you iiked 'cause I see from your blog you have a good sense of humor and a good read on things (ex: cole, et al)

Make sure to head back and read it again - I just added a few more updated of 2015 debates betweem various contemporary politicos.

Matt Barganier desconstructs Andrew Sullivan's mea sorta culpa on Iraq in Time magazine (Sullivan seen above in a thoughtful pose on Bill Maher's "Real Time"). There have been many of those in recent weeks (including by WFB and Fukuyama ). In an commentary published last year, Oops!

Like Nasser, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can cripple Israel economically by keeping it in a state of alert, driving away foreign investment and tourism. In the absence of interna...
