You know what Andrew Bacevich said at the Sydney Writers festival?
Firstly he mentioned Wolfowitz(??) saying that 'weapons of mass destruction was the point on which we could all agree', meaning that there was a range of viewpoints and WMD was some kind of highest common factor thing.
Secondly, that after the attacks, the (subjectively speaking) scales fell from his eyes and he embraced the Wilsonian foreign policy which he married to neo-liberalism. Because he had to speak to the American people about what had happened. He couldn't just stay in Nebraska.
Then there's the sense of entitlement. Its odd, from this distance, not understanding all the subtexts. I was brought up believing in kings, queens and archbishops. 'Yo Blair'?
Just very shortsighted, always people are. Humanity.
