Ah damn that book looks fascinating. Premise speaks to me.
Kaplan got my attention by covering the Iran/Iraq war for five years, then advocating for "Regime Change" against Saddam post 9/11, then saying "whoopsie, screwed the pooch on that one. Where did I go wrong?" He's kind of been soul searching through literature ever since. He's not exactly a neocon, but he sure ain't no bleedin' heart liberal.
