I’ve added a new blog to the links over to your right: The New Sisyphus. A State Department blog like the unfortunately retired Diplomadic, the last few days’ postings are full of bloggy goodness:
- David Brooks on the need to wean Europe from the American protective bubble and give the at once utopian and back-biting eurocrats some harsh reality to deal with, for a change.
- The US sends a strong signal to Syria by recalling its ambassador.
- A far better elucidation than I could provide of the reality behind US foreign policy in the Cold War and the strong evidence that once the Cold War was over, US foreign policy drastically changed. This is why the if the Left really had any self-consistency, it ought to have embraced the Bush Doctrine with open arms.
