The superhawk behind the surge
By Jim Lobe

WASHINGTON - When President George W Bush unveils his long-awaited new strategy on Iraq on Wednesday night eastern US time, he will be relying heavily on the counsel of one J D Crouch II, perhaps the most hardline - if most obscure - of his hawkish advisers.

Over the past 15 years, the generally low-profile Crouch has taken any number of controversial positions, from advocating military action against Cuba and North Korea to blaming the 1999 Columbine High School student massacre in Colorado on "30 years of liberal social policy". snip

Although such positions generally do not reflect neo-conservative views, neo-cons, including Perle and Gaffney, have, like Cheney, been among Crouch's most enthusiastic boosters over the years.

"Knowing him as I do," Gaffney, whose list of US adversaries against which Washington should be much more confrontational runs from Iran, North Korea, Syria and Venezuela to China, Russia and France, told the St Louis Post Dispatch, "I'm almost certain that he is exercising influence, and influence that is reinforcing the most robust policies and positions of this administration."

5. In the wacked out Staussian world view dominant in DC, liberalism
leads to social freedom that eliminates social controls and leads to the break down of society.

If that sounds almost exactly like an argument made by the Taliban it is. Fundamentalisms of many stripes share similar inherently anti-liberal ideologies.
