Our newest columnist<\/a>, Doug Bandow, a trenchant critic of interventionism, was formerly a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. He worked as special assistant to President Reagan and editor of the political magazine Inquiry. He is the author of The Politics of Envy: Statism as Theology<\/i> (1994) Tripwire: Korea and U.S. Foreign Policy in a Changed World<\/i> (1996), and Beyond Good Intentions: A Biblical View of Politics<\/i> (1988), and served as editor for several books.
\nHis articles have appeared in Foreign Policy, Harper’s, National Interest, National Review, The New Republic<\/i>, and Orbis<\/i>, and in major newspapers, such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal<\/i>, and the Washington Post<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Doug is a principled opponent of global interventionism, and a talented writer: when he was caught up<\/a> in the recent lobbying scandal in Washington, because he took payments from lobbyist Jack Abramoff for writing articles that took a position he would have taken anyway, our suddenly moralistic media went ballistic — this from the same people who swallowed George W. Bush’s lies about WMD in Iraq, and shamelessly cowered while the War Party relegated them to the role of court stenographers! <\/p>\n

His column, “Foreign Follies,” is going to be one of the most popular features of Antiwar.com. I can see that in the first installment, and here is a taste:<\/p>\n

“A shining city on a hill. A light unto the world. That’s what early Americans hoped their land would become. A beacon of liberty, beckoning others to follow. A place of refuge and hope for those fleeing tyranny or seeking opportunity. An oasis in the midst of conflict and chaos.<\/p>\n

“This once described the United States. But no longer.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Watch out, War Party — because the party’s over. Bandow’s column will be appearing every week, on Fridays: his wide-ranging knowledge of foreign affairs, and politics in general, is a huge asset, and we are proud to feature his work on Antiwar.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
