ARTICLE: Beijing Embraces Classical Fascism, By Michael A. Ledeen, AEI, May 6, 2008

Some truly unhelpful--even dangerous--name-calling from a pro-capitalist organization than should know better. Bad history, but Robert Kagan pushing it too in his new book. Clearly, the neocons are re-engaging in demonizing China--just too tempting a target and it's just so easy to bandwagon in anticipation of a McCain presidency. Remember what they wanted and pursued before 9/11 interrupted their focus.

You want WWIII or IV (I lose count), these gentlemen are your posse.

Honestly, Ledeen uses such self-serving terms, definitions and diagnoses that I could replace "China" and the "Chinese Communist Party" and substitute "America" and the "Bush-Cheney regime" and actually get through all the way through without laughing.

So truly misguided to be throwing such bricks from their glass fort.
