The Neocons’ Darling Party Line

I made my premiere this week on RightWeb, with an article on the strange twists and turns of the neocon party line on Egypt I have amply covered throughout on this blog.  The article already seems somewhat dated with all that has happened in just the last few days.  (I’m in DC through next week, so if I blog less frequently I’m also staying with a friend who has al Jazeera!!)

All I can say at this point on the subject of my RightWeb article is that this really is the neocon Hitler-Stalin pact moment, because increasingly the neocons are trying to brazenly have it both ways, running paeans to global democracy alongside vicious screeds against El Baradei and the Muslim Brotherhood.  The craven long-term party line is already taking shape, that if only the neocons were calling the shots a true people’s democracy would be emerging Egypt instead of an Islamofascist satellite of Iran.

As a distant relative of probably the last man alive in the Soviet Union, when he died in 1983, who still believed everything would have been OK if Trotsky had taken over, I know that dog won’t bite.
