CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH FOR FOREIGN POLICY NERDS

Excellent essay by Danny Postel in Open Democracy (via Altercation) on the current schism which is opening among neoconservatives, evidenced by Francis Fukuyama attacking Charles Krauthammer's concept of "democratic realism". You know I loves a good whuppin', especially when the one on the receiving end is a sanctimonious, bellicose twit like Krauthammer, whose reputation has always escaped me.

No surprise, then, that I think Fukuyama clearly has the better argument of the two. Of course, given that this is an argument between two neoconservatives, this is to say that Fukuyama is only slightly less insane.
