Criticizing the book "Party of Defeat"


A ultra-conservative site runs a valid criticism
David Horowitz's Front Page Mag surprised me. Usually it overflows with criticism of the Left with no balancing opinion, but this time it got someone who actually was right (excuse the expression). William Blum is correct on this issue, although he's not usually.

Horowitz and Johnson, the terrorism experts, however, ignore all the real terrorist groups supported in recent years by Washington -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- from the anti-Castro Cubans in Florida to the Kosovo and Bosnian allies of al Qaeda to the MEK in Iran. They also warmly laud Bush for his tough warnings to other nations not to harbor terrorists. Yet, the United States in recent years has harbored more terrorists than any other country in the world. (See my book Rogue State: "A Guide to the World's Only Superpower", chapter 9.)

The authors accept all the premises of Bush administration foreign policy, and believe in the nobility of their motives. In a timeline he notes for March 19, 2003: "War commences in Iraq".

With luck this will get the debate going.

Homework questions:
Why is it necessary for the United States to intervene all over the globe? Why is it expected?
