I can't speak to that question. It's not the argument I've made and I do not
think that it's the argument that Peter (the New Republic editor) made either. I
think rather he's making the argument to his own brethren that they are missing
the point, that if they are not careful they will be aiding and abetting the
totalitarians, (a bad thing, don't you agree) rather than thwarting the neo-cons
machinations.
I think the article bears a bit more detailed study than I'm inferring you have
given it... I think it's making rather a deep point with his parallels to the
early post war changes in focus that led to the formation of the ADA.
I am not sure I necessarily agree with everything it says but I found it quite
thought provoking.
