The poisonous premise of the neoconservative

the fall of communism was the seed-bed for many of the horrors we are witnessing today...

When the battle of the two great powers was won by the side that stood for freedom, the world was not yearning for a one-power dominated geopolitics, the core vision of the neoconservative catastrophe.

The world was yearning for freedom and democracy where America would be the leader and role model that respected and empowered, but did not dominate, others who shared our values.

The poisonous premise of the neoconservative was the arrogant, overbearing and historically catastrophic notion that the end of the Cold War meant that instead of two powers that compete to run the world, the victorious power would stand alone at the throne of world power.

With a premise so historically wrong, the result was inevitable disaster that not only discredited its advocates, but violated principles of our democracy, alienated the worldwide opinion of democratic peoples, destabilized our military, divided our nation and endangered our security.

yep... all of that and more... it's not impossible to get us back on track but it's going to take one hell of a lot of work... meanwhile, between now and 20 january 2009, god help us all...
