Derbyshire Demurs From "Democracy Defeats Terrorists" Mantra
John Derbyshire had better watch it. He's expressed some skepticism about the war in Iraq on the NRO blog, to wit:
I shall probably get disinvited from the next White House tea dance just for asking the following question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
Given that the four London suicide bombers were all raised -- in at least one case, born and raised -- in Britain, the quintessential liberal democracy; and given that the entire premise of current U.S. policy is that we can end suicide bombing and other terrorism by bringing liberal democracy to the Middle East; shouldn't we be re-thinking our policy?
This isn't the first time Derb has questioned the wisdom of the Bush administration's Middle East policy. If he keeps this up, he may be booted Frum NR.
