Following up on a tip by the indispensable Minnesota Mom, the next book on my reading list is The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War by Andrew J. Bacevich. If this excerpt from the preface is any guide, it should be on yours, too:
Today, I still situate myself culturally on the right. And I continue to view the remedies proffered by mainstream liberalism with skepticism. But my disenchantment with what passes for mainstream conservatism, embodied in the present Bush administration and its groupies, is just about absolute. Fiscal irresponsibility, a buccaneering foreign policy, a disregard for the Constitution, the barest lip service as a response to profound moral controversies: these do not qualify as authentically conservative values.
