It’s difficult to believe that these people feel any affinity with the normal Americans who fight their wars. Their’s is a sociopathic disregard for both the realities and the costs to actual humans. Perhaps this is a consequence of the intellectualization of conflict. The toxic environment of the academy and the think-tank makes it possible for fantasist’s such as the Kagans to make a good living playing chess with the lives of others.

Ah, yes … the Kagans! They’re like the neocon version of Lucille Ball and Ricky Ricardo for our generation except in place of hijinks with little Ricky, we get endless occupations and no-win wars.
