The New and Improved David Brooks

"We've got to come up with a global alliance of democracies to embody democratic ideals, harness U.S. military power and house a permanent nation-building apparatus, filled with people who actually possess expertise on how to do this job."

Who said that? Well, while you might think it was John Kerry, it was actually David Brooks in the May 8th issue of the New York Times. Does this mean he will now oppose the reelection of an administration that has continually ignored (or fired) area experts, belittled nation-building, and done great harm to the alliances that were viewed as essential for national security prior to 2001? I suppose the crew at the Weekly Standard can't come out and explicitly say that the Bush approach to foreign policy is a dangerous, miserable failure, but this is coming pretty close.
