Bruce Fein and Grant F. Smith debate whether it is time to celebrate the demise of the neoconservative grip on U.S. Middle East policy. Fein reviews the overwhelming public refusal to approve the Obama administration plan to attack Syria over alleged chemical weapons use. Smith argues that despite that recent development, over 70 percent of the neocon policy manifesto (The Clean Break Plan) has already been implemented. Smith further details how even as the region becomes a tinderbox awaiting a spark to inflame U.S. involvement, none of the Israel lobby’s capabilities to legally or illegally fan the U.S. into conflagration–which it usually does while nobody is looking–has been observably diminished.
