You are aware that the US and Israel were not on such good terms until 1973? We got sick of the Arab state’s siding with the Soviets, and tossed our lot in with their enemies. (The hardware of the 1948 and 1967 wars was mostly French and WW2 leftovers.) It didn’t hurt that Israel was a Western democracy like Germany or Norway as opposed to a corrupt dictatorship. Consider that our money to Israel actually gives us an ally in the region, one that contributes something to the world other than oil.

I only really developed a special fondness for Israel (along with the Philippines and a few others) after 9/11. They fight the same crazy irhabi movement we do.

To be precise, Kristol is a neoconservative.

As previously communicated by at least one other person at this thread, don’t expect a conservative which truly challenges the prevailing biases of The NYT.

An example would be people who think along the lines of Srdja Trifkovic on a number of foreign policy issues. BTW, this observation of The NYT has to a degree been noted in relation to National Review. Some would no doubt put Pajamas Media in the same category.

since no conservative is there to replace, i say no one. let the NYT’s rot. if there is to be a choice, i would favor a conservative that is more informational than avocational. someone like John Lott or Novak for example. Novak pegs people, from Krystol to Jimmy, the lying village idiot, Carter exactly on the money. he was also on the correct side of both American Gulf wars. Lott, does research, reports research, and relates it in copious quantities with devastating quality.
those are conservative journalistic qualities. qualities most liberal and conservative pseudo journalists do not have. i am tired of being preached to.
i have no interest in a right wing CNN,or New York Times, just the fact ma’am.
