Fuku You, Neocons and Other News

An interesting and brief article by the widely respected historian and political theorist Francis Fukuyama appeared in the New York Times magazine this week, discussing what basically amounts to his renunciation of the neoconservative school of thought. It gives a nice rundown of what the movement was, what it has become, and where U.S. foreign policy should go now that the Bush administration has made sure that no one ever tries the Neocon approach again. Not sure if I agree with everything he says, but a good read none the less.

Elsewhere, it looks like a million people attended a free Stones concert in Rio recently. Now the city has to clean up their mess.

Finally, SXSW announced its schedule a couple days ago.

More to come today, including a band profile and stuff.
