Very interesting and hopefully helpful. The follow-up questions seem to indicate a friendly/sympathetic audience, but I missed a few minutes (and just noticed …

Here’s the comment I left yesterday on the Washington Post’s ridiculous opinion piece “5 myths about neoconservatism” by Jacob Heilbrunn, a senior editor at The National Interest (founded by the grandaddy of all neocons, Irving Kristol)… +++ Asking a senior editor of The National Interest to debunk neocon myths is about like asking Stalin to …

I like Barak more for what his election would say to the world and about us as Americans, than for his positions or his personality. I think Arun Ghandi stated something similar.

You have confirmed an unfortunate suspicion. Your postscript reflects the same reaction, albeit belated, that the rabbi expressed in his letter. I read Reese in a completely different light — he is simply suggesting that it is not in America’s best interests to support Israel and the oil-rich (or geographically strategic) despots in the region. …
