Billy K.
An interesting assessment from a man not usually considered particularly Left Wing.
NO ONE EVER THOUGHT IT would be easy to conquer the outposts of tyranny or to destroy the sponsors of terror. But it shouldn't be that hard, most of the time, to hold American foreign policy to some minimum standards: no rewards for gross acts of dictatorial oppression; no blind eye to facilitation of terrorism; no benign neglect for nuclear proliferation; no free passes for aiders and abettors of tyrants. Are we meeting those standards?
Not as much as we should be, and not as much as we could be.
And as an extra-special Sunday bonus here at 3Quarks, here are a couple of pictures of Mr. Kristol getting pied at Earlham College.

WK proposes here that "if Assad can't police his border, we won't respect it either." Why yes, I suppose that makes the man "interesting," although maybe a more accurate term might be "irresponsible warmonger." If Kristol has gone yeller about a few details, at least he still sees the big picture.
