I was so rightwing at one time that I shook Bill Kristol’s hand at a Tea Party rally in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia and thanked him for his contributions to the political conversation.
That was a full decade and at least one lifetime ago.
Bill Kristol and Scott Horton Debate U.S. Interventionism
Scott Horton has to be the most knowledgeable person there is when it comes to U.S. foreign interventions.
Kristol didn’t know what he was about to face, or didn’t care. Horton’s attacks on U.S. military policy over a century are withering. Kristol doesn’t even bother rebutting several points.
If nothing else, listen to their opening statements. I believe Horton encapsulates a beautiful argument against U.S. interventionism after Kristol’s opening.
