...calls the Iraq War, for example, a “foolishly optimistic effort to bring ‘enlightened’ democracy to a nation in darkness” but completely overlooks the country’s ties to Middle Eastern oil. For someone who takes painstaking steps to convey her well-read background and advocates greater intellectual discourse within the nation, Jacoby is woefully ignorant about political science. She omits arguments that seem intrinsic to her claims, most notably Tocqueville’s “tragedy of the commons” and Burke’s trustee-versus...
