Kagan / Springer
Robert Kagan had some interesting things to say on Charlie Rose. He feels that Hussein was “uniquely dangerous” and that it was a good idea to remove him. He said that the world was becoming, as Kissinger had predicted, “multipolar” and that, unlike France, he felt that was a bad thing — more dangerous. He felt that the consequences of not seeing Iraq through — which he said should include sending more troops, something he had advocated since 2003 — is a rational choice, perhaps the only choice; although he felt that troop levels would remain at about 150,000 for several years to come.
And the best line of the day, yesterday, from Jerry Springer after being voted off Dancing With the Stars, “I want to thank the public for letting me go home.”
