Eight Years of Necocon Foreign Policy

Willaim Dalrymple reviews "Descent Into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia and writes
Eight years of neocon foreign policies have been a spectacular disaster for American interests in the Islamic world, leading to the rise of Iran as a major regional power, the advance of Hamas and Hezbollah, the wreckage of Iraq, with over two million external refugees and the ethnic cleansing of its Christian population, and now the implosion of Afghanistan and Pakistan, probably the most dangerous development of all.



It's not funny because it's true. Let's see what the next four (or eight) years of Democrat neocons can do.
