& Quotes
Max
Boot, a scholar at the Council on Foreign Relations and former editor
for The Wall Street Journal, occupies the extremist end of the neoconservative
ideological spectrum. While figures like William Kristol and Robert
Kagan call for a “benevolent hegemony,” Boot flat out
states that the United States should “unambiguously . . .
embrace its imperial role.” (2)
In
an interview with The Washington Monthly’s Joshua Micah Marshall,
Boot said: “We need to be more assertive and stop letting
all these two-bit dictators and rogue regimes push us around and
stop being a patsy for our so-called allies, especially in Saudi
Arabia.” In a worst-case scenario, he said, the United States
may end up “occupying the Saudi’s oil fields and administering
them as a trust for the people of the region.” (3)
Boot
is a regular contributor to numerous press outlets -- including
The New York Times, USA Today, and the Washington Post -- and the
author of several books, including The Savage Wars of Peace: Small
Wars and the Rise of American Power (Basic Books), 2002, and Out
of Order: Arrogance, Corruption and Incompetence on the Bench (Basic
Books), 1998. (1)
