As one of the often attacked "neos" I find Clyde Prestowitz's charges unpersuasive. We've done such a bad job of getting the world angry at us. As a conservative I feel its evidence we must doing something right. The world is a lot more peaceful and stable now in no small part thanks to the policies President Bush has persuaded in the wake of 9-11. I'd like to hear from the paleocons and the Left exactly what they would do or have done in the WOT and in Iraq. Basically as a hyperpower the U.S does have global interests and the means to protect and secure them. And this is not a responsibility that is going to disappear anytime soon. It is part and parcel of the obligations that come with being the greatest country in the history of mankind.
