The Washington Times editor-at-large, the old foreign policy hand Arnaud de Borchgrave has more comforting news about our position relative to the world. His optimism is refreshing (sarcasm off).

I am waiting for the day when paleo-conservatives stop giving us peeks into the bottomless black holes that are their souls. They should pretend, even if they think otherwise, that some small sliver of light is shining through the tunnel. Mr. de Borchgrave makes some legitimate points regarding our geopolitical alignment, but I can hardly get through this article without hanging myself.
