Ding-Dong, The Neocons Are Dead

Tony Karon has a fine post on the fact that Dick Cheney’s saber-rattling over Iran is meaningless. Bush won’t attack Iran. David Wurmser also said as much in his speech to Middle East Forum 10 days ago, poorly attended. Let us celebrate the fact that the neocon moment is over. The deluded militarist idealism that walked the halls of the West Wing has been cashiered. Karon points out that Arab countries are now doing their own diplomacy in the region and ignoring the U.S. On our horizon: realism.
