So You Wanna Be A Neoconservative?

Years after pathbreaking philosopher Leo Strauss shuffled off the mortal coil and was welcomed into the Isle of the Blessed, where he and Plato and Aristotle discuss the Great Issues, things aren't going so well for neoconservatives.

For one, Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld are on the outs with President George Bush. For the moment, at least, Colin Powell and the State Department and Condi Rice and the NSC are making the big calls on foreign policy. And second, the sugardaddy of the neocon movement, Lord Conrad Black is no longer at the helm of Hollinger.

THe Forward writes: "Given Hollinger's $730 million of debt, observers see no way for the company to survive without selling at least some of its assets."

There goes The Sun? And is that in The National Interest?
