George Will

I respect his views and though I often disagree with them, I am in awe of his command of the English language. He writes a column for Newsweek every fortnight and I often have to reach for the dictionary to look up the meaning of obscure words that dot his columns. His column this week is a serious indictment of the neo-conservative point of view and the failure of the Kerry campaign to seize on it and exploit it. Will, who appears on ABC's This Week program on Sundays questions the merit of the neocon view that American democracy is a good thing for the rest of the world and that nation building is a facile exercise. I knew Will had reservations about the war in Iraq, but he seems to have turned into a full fledged critic. His views seem very similar to those espoused by Pat Buchanan.
