Why Stay in the Middle East?
The National Interest | March 27, 2013
Bashing
the critics of their foreign-policy agenda as “isolationists” has
become the last refuge of military interventionists and global
crusaders. The tactic helps sidetrack the debate by putting the onus on
their opponents—those skeptical of regime change here, there and
everywhere—to disprove the charge that they want Americans to shun the
rest of the world.
And now proponents of maintaining American military hegemony in the
Middle East have been applying a similar technique, accusing those who
call for a debate on U.S. interests and policies in that region of
advocating retreat and appeasement.
