Different words, same music.  Realistic Wilsonianism is obviously the same 
"pragmatic" megalomania that the Neocons ladled out before.  If Fukuyama 
remains the policy bellwether he was previously, USers seem destined to be 
perceived globally as even bigger and more malignant buffoons than they are 
already.
