James Baker and His Realist Friends Are Going To Destroy the Republican Party

Selling out Israel during Iraq I is one thing - people have a short memory. Selling out Israel during Iraq II is also not exactly a base-eviscerating move either - you're unlikely to see Tucker Carlson shedding any tears if the State Department succeeds in destroying Israeli strategic depth. But destroying the Cedar Revolution for peace in our time a relatively quiet American retreat is going to piss off a lot of people:

Instapundit thinks Bush’s new “realist” approach might lead him to reprise Chamberlain’s betrayal of Czechoslovakia by basically ceding Lebanon to Assad in exchange for a little peace and quiet in Iraq. If he does, I’m off the Republican bandwagon forever, and I won’t be the only one. I leave you with a photo from today’s funeral. In the center is Amin Gemayel, former president of Lebanon; on the right, Saad Hariri. One has a dead father, the other a dead son, both in all likelihood at the hands of a regime we’re now seriously considering doing business with.

At least John Mearsheimer will be happy that real people are talking to him again. Kind of.
