...those were the days.....
Waxing fondly for the past...
A former aide to President Reagan complains that the neocons have put a spotlight on American weaknesses rather than highlight its strengths.
Stefan Halper a policy aide for President Reagan who also served Nixon and Ford, has written a new book "America Alone: The Neo-Conservatives and the Global Order". The book was written with Jonathan Clarke of the Cato Institute. The book advances the notion that the US should return to working with another nations on a multilateral basis.
Halper is the latest in the Reagan circle to assert that Bush and the neconservatives are far from the "Reaganesque" nuanced policy approach that they claim to mirror.
The Bush Administration's attempts to wrap itself in the aura of Reagan appear to be backfiring. It's brought out of the woodwork folks from Reagan's family and friends...and they clearly don't like the comparison the Bush Campaign/Administration is trying to draw.
