Somewhere, maybe Drudge, it was noted, the biggest story of 2011 is the death of OBL. There was a victory dance or ten caught on media. The heartbreaking aspect of it all is that dead or alive, he won. If we won, the new defense authorization act could be slimmer and indefinite detention would not be on it.
Radley Balko had a post in May outlining our defeat. If you don't sigh after reading, you don't get it.
Why The Neutralist? The term Isolationist implies a narrow Fortress America outlook and is used as an epithet. The term Neutralist does not indicate someone hiding out from the world. No one calls the Swiss isolationists. The Wilsonian world view is old, tired and wrong. Our interventions have been less and less successful and now the failure can no longer be covered up.
