John Bolton, I think Donald Rumsfeld was a radical departure from the traditional SECDEF cut. Neoconservativism is a radical departure from the traditional Paleoconservative establishment. Religion and morality in foreign policy is a radical departure in a field that is traditionally amoral.
I think bringing in Robert Gates, Baker's ISG, Bolton leaving, and the recent election all warrants the observation that radicals are being brought in here.
This is all for better or worse. I certainly at one point supported these people and tenets. I do not think it is offensive to note that it is radical, rather it is a just observation.
I think there are signs that Ahmadinejad is getting restrained at home too.
