A clearly unjustified position in retrospect, one some were too short-sighted or ignorant to see.

idrees2022's review against another edition

1.0

This book would be comical if the subject matter weren't so tragic. Here is a gaggle of neocons and liberal hawks, championing George W. Bush as a humanitarian crusader who is going to bomb all evil out of the world. For a bunch of self-styled 'contrarians' the book ends with a whole section on Tony Blair, celebrating his 'liberal statesmanship'. By this token, you could also describe Manchu royal eunuchs, and other courtesans as dissidents.
