Foreign Affairs Through a Kristol Ball

Bill Kristol: "It's a complicated place, Yemen. We're going to have to be involved there."

And if it wasn't complicated? I bet we'd have to be involved then, as well!

    Here is a classic piece by Bill Kristol:

    "One of the most hopeful aspects of the current conservative revival is its reclamation of the American constitutionalist tradition. That tradition is anchored even beyond the Constitution, of course, in the Declaration of Independence. And that document, let’s not forget, proclaims that, “Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.” An American conservatism that looks back to 1776 cannot turn its back on the Egyptian people."

    I love his totally inverted logic. Any American who admires American tradition must use those standards in places where American traditions don't exist.
