Bill Kristol Calls For Americans to be ‘Awakened and Rallied’ to War
John Glaser
Bill Kristol is not shy about his fetish for war. His latest piece at the neoconservative Weekly Standard borders on self-parody in the way that it openly longs for a return to a time when Americans were eager to send the U.S. military off on unnecessary, imperialistic adventures.
Kristol is frustrated by the “war-weariness” of the nation. He laments the reluctance on the part of the Republican Party to “challenge” “the idol of war-weariness.”
“A war-weary public can be awakened and rallied,” Kristol cheers. “Indeed, events are right now doing the awakening. All that’s needed is the rallying. And the turnaround can be fast.”
People like Kristol are so blinded by ideology that they breach the etiquette which calls on elite commentators to camouflage their enthusiasm for war with superficial appeals to peace. He loves death and destruction and wars of choice and he doesn’t care who knows it! He is way out of the closet. That he can explicitly call for Americans to be “awakened and rallied” for new wars and not be embarrassed by the Hitler-esque tone of such despicable cravings is an indication of how lacking in self-awareness he is. His foreign policy beliefs are the kind that are not susceptible to reasoning or disconfirming evidence. His worship for the warfare state is religious in its persuasion.

he is so disappointed with Bush gone his hopes of a worldwide PNAC war hasn't taken out Iran yet. Kristol needs to come down with a stroke or something that gets him into a living assistance facility for those with early dementia.
Love the imagery, btw.

Krystol on "This Week" actually makes me miss George Will. He just reeks of smugness.
You first.
When weren't we in those times....which conflict doesn't involve the world's policeman!!!! Kristol is an absolute prick but don't fool yourselves that the U.S. Hasn't always got involved in other people's business....a couple of hundred foreign bases is proof.. it'd be good if someone research ed the proliferation of us bases in a timeline
I am reminded of that photo of a German crowd, including a young Adolf Hitler, celebrating the declaration of war in 1914. Celebrating as if war was a sporting event.
A hundred years later, and there are still those who haven't learned.
...succinctly put. I was trying to think of something pithy to say, but I can't top this.
Dumb fuck! 
if we perceive this as a non necessary war, you are right. The 1960s would look like a real picnic
If it was perceived as a real poke in the eye (see Pearl Harbor), then you would have no problem with a draft. For the record, I think our neo cons are hoping with all their heart that we have a major attack on the mainland so we can have yet another war.
These men, and it is mostly men who refused to serve when they were young, are just sick. This is what they remind me off...
