Enforcing the Community's foreign policy orthodoxy
Glenn looks at the Foreign Policy wonks on the Democratic side, and how the neocon agenda runs through the thoughts of so called serious foreign policy thinkers.

Not only, according to this Democratic foreign policy expert, were there "good arguments" for attacking and invading Iraq (a country which neither attacked nor threatened to attack us), there are also now what Cohen calls "good arguments" for starting wars against two more countries (at least) that have also not attacked us

Even with the eventual slowdown in Iraqi operations and a possible new democratic prez in 08, the neocon flame will burn.

The Number One Rule of the bi-partisan Foreign Policy Community is that America has the right to invade and attack other countries at will because American power is inherently good and our role in the world is to rule it though the use of superior military force. Paying homage to that imperialistic orthodoxy is a non-negotiable pre-requisite to maintaining Good Standing and Seriousness Credentials within the Foreign Policy Community.

Glenn has been hitting on these so called serious thinkers for a few posts now, and how this line of thinking will continue to permiate the msm and so called policy trim tabbers out there in the world of well financed think tanks.
