POST-NEO, WHAT?

Clark Humphrey lives in Seattle and has probably the world's oldest "blog." He started with bulletin boards in 1985, moved to the internet in 1995. He's very sharp and an excellent writer.

POST-NEO, WHAT?

My thoughts upon reading Francis Fukuyama's NYT Mag essay on the end of neoconservatism: 'Bout time, I say. Alas, the damage done by this unrepentant gang of imperialist plotters will take decades to heal, and some of the soldiers and overseas civilians injured and maimed and PTSD-damaged by this stupid, stupid war won't ever be the same.

And sure enough, Fukuyama doesn't have any specific answers for what should replace neocon ideology, besides something more realist, more multilateral, and less hubris-tainted.

Here's my highly vague, formless attempt at an answer:

American industrial capital, the real source of power and money propping up our imperially-minded national political machine, is in its endgame, knows it, and is running scared, in aggressive-defense mode.

I'm looking forward to reading the NYT article, as well as the blog.
Both look interesting from what I scanned.

Perfect.
