Reagan aide slams neo-con policies

[whosinpower]

Clarke attacked the neo-cons for casting themselves as "neo-Reaganites," when in fact, he said, Reagan's approach was "a much more nuance and balanced way of conducting international affairs, drawing on the military only when absolutely necessary." In contrast, the neo-cons "see the main instrument of carrying out policy as being top-down military force."

As a result, Halper added, they have adopted a strategy that "ended up being a recruiting poster for radical Islam," initiated a "vast decrease in American credibility," and "rupture(ed) ... relationships with multi-national institutions."
