That's long gone; they're just a bunch of WSJ neoconmen, with less right-wing evangelicalism.

In other words, The Economist wants Obama to be more like Alden Pyle and they don’t seem to understand that this is what they want." Considering (a) their general political position and (b) the amount of time that they spent drooling for expansions of American Empire, I'd say that they *do* understand what they want. Remember, the destruction and waste don't bite them on the *ss. Except for the recent financial meltdown, and they're not living in the street yet. “The problem with the Pyle character wasn’t that he underestimated “how bad the world is,” but that he grossly overestimated his own abilities (and the abilities of Americans in general) to “reorder the world” as desired.
