Quite a lengthy read, but well worth it. Any opinions?

I like this guy. He gives solid analisys behind his OpEds. He is conservitive bent, but not slavishly so. He is realistic and unafraid to point out flaws. Following his articles, he has been behind action in the MidEast (he is of MidEastern origin, but I don't know what) and the Bush administration, but here he points out the failings in the policies of the Admin.

He has some very good points. The world is at a cross roads, an unstable one at that. It is waiting to see how America wields it's influence to maintain it.
