The Primacy of foreign Policy

I know that I am a distinct minority prioritize foreign policy above economic and social issues, but I am not alone. A really good article from 1996 by Robert Kagan and Bill Kristol makes a strong case not only for the importance of foreign policy, but a neo-conservative one at that. Its certainly an interesting read in this post-9/11, post Gulf War II world. I find that it's advice not only remains sound, but would have made the past several years much easier to navigate had it been better heeded.
