Now that he no longer has to pretend to be a tax-cutting, corruption-busting, lobbyist-defying, bipartisan agent of reform, our illustrious president-elect, Barack Obama, has decided that he's more interested in bringing together a team of people who will ensure that he doesn't do anything stupid than he is in bringing about any sort of fundamental change. Perhaps he's realized that he's not quite sure what exactly he's supposed to do, given that he spent almost his entire time in the Senate running for the presidency. But let's give the man a break.

Many Americans today take the idea that the Iraq War was a terrible mistake as an axiom.

There is perhaps no political ideology that is more widely discussed and less understood than neo-conservatism. Although aspects of it have captured the imagination of high-ranking officials in the Bush administration in the post-9/11 era and have shaped its foreign policy in unprecedented ways, it continues to be employed as a smear and more often, to the less activist-minded, an utter question mark.
