A "New Liberalism"?

This article A Fighting Faith: An Argument for a New Liberalism by Peter Beinart in the New Republic has created quite a stir. If you are interested in the direction the Democratic Party is or should be going in, check it out.

Meanwhile, Richard Kearney over at Future's So Bright declares "Won't Get Fooled Again!!!!"

[Update: Beinert has an abridged version of his article in the Washington Post, Can the Democrats Fight? Cold War Lessons for Reclaiming Trust on National Security. But I recommend the original article and the subsequent debates on many blogs and in the letters to the New Republic. The article is most useful, I think, for its historical perspective on the relationship between liberalism in this country and totalitarianism abroad.]
