An End To Evil: "Don't stop now"

Neoconservatives Richard Perle and David Frum don't want the US to back down from its aggressive positions in the war on terror. Not now.

In their new book, an "An end to evil: How to win the war on terror," the two men argue, among many other things:

1) France is really more an enemy than an ally of the US and that European nations must be forced to choose between Paris and Washington
2) Muslims living in the US must be given special scrutiny by US law enforcement and other Americans
3) The US must overthrow the regimes in Iran and Syria, and impose a blockade on North Korea
4) Palestinians must not be allowed to have a state
5) All Americans must carry a government issued identity card
6) The US must explicitly reject the jurisdiction of the United Nations Charter.

In a review in The Washington Post, New Republic...Perle and Frum, make them the "the heirs and custodians" of President Woodrow Wilson's "crusading" foreign policy style:

When not ridiculing the backwardness of Islamic societies, they champion an effort "to lead the Arab and Muslim world to democracy and liberty"and make the case for enshrining women's freedom at the center of official policy. An End to Evil shares the traditionally conservative view of the world as a fundamentally dangerous and Hobbesian place. But it also argues that the condition can be ameliorated – through the vigorous application of American power and ideals. This is not conservatism. It is liberalism, with very sharp teeth.

Nota: aqui "liberalism" entenda-se po esquerdismo.

Perle and Frum naturally blame (...) all the foreign-policy specialists and "realists" who initially raised questions about going to war in Iraq – for resisting their calls for expanding the war to Syria, Iran, North Korea and even Saudi Arabia.

Carl Evans, columnist for The Daily Camera in Boulder, Colorado, accuses Perle and Frum (who he called "chicken hawk neocons") of trying "to play God.": "Because you're pursuing an unachievable goal, you are forced into using increasingly harsh measures, and as a result, innocents die – and evil remains. Ask the French about Algeria. "
