Joscelyn takes it apart:
Instead of putting forth a comprehensive alternative, Haass trumpets a series of intellectually and morally vacuous arguments that say much about the American elite’s lack of will in this fight and very little about who our enemies are and how they can be defeated.
The nuance! It's blinding!
Do read it all. I remain deeply disturbed that so much purported brain power is expended on the cause of making the act of running away seem like wise hard-headed realism.
