The Perils of Anti-American Schadenfreude

Francis Fukuyama gets a lot of stick for a lot of reasons, not least for his rather premature hastiness to declare the end of history. He's also slagged off as a neocon, a label which I believe he has now declined. But regardless of what you think of him - I don't have strong opinions one way or the other - this analysis seems to be pretty much on the money.

but larry, he is a neocon. it's not slagging him off, it's just the accepted term. i know neocon is such a dirty word, but i always figured fukuyama was one of thee necons who defined the genre.
