Leo Strauss re-wrote the History Of Philosophy so that the Neo-Conservatives like Stephens could use it as there/his touch-stone? This just a bit of hyperpbole! yet Strauss betrayel of the facts of the History Of Philosphy is/was an act of the betrayel, of that Philiosopical Tradition, that became the lynch pin of Neo-Conservatism!

…
Now that Israel is the war’s clear victor, it needs to bring its hostages home. Let Hamas try to rule from the ruins it made.
That doesn’t mean that Jerusalem should cut a weak deal. Above all, it would be a mistake for Israel to agree to bring back the hostages in stages, since it would give Hamas an incentive to raise the price for every additional hostage. Trump can be especially helpful here by informing Hamas’s patrons in Qatar that the United States would revoke Qatar’s status as a major non-NATO ally and move the Al-Udeid air base — forward headquarters of the U.S. Central Command — to the United Arab Emirates if all of the hostages aren’t released by Jan. 20. Let the conniving Qataris figure out the rest.
Other players? The Turks will have to be deterred by Washington from trying to use Syria’s revolution as an opportunity to settle scores against the Kurds. That means, especially, maintaining our detachment of forces in eastern Syria. The Saudis will also need to demonstrate regional leadership by helping rebuild Syria and resuming negotiations for diplomatic normalization with Israel.
None of this will be simple or straightforward. But the end of al-Assad’s wretched regime unlocks many doors.
Compare Mr. Stephens politics to the notorious Cold Warrior Joe Alsop’s , via Edwin M. Yoder Jr.
In the years after World War II, Georgetown’s leafy streets were home to an unlikely group of Cold Warriors: a coterie of affluent, well-educated, and connected civilians who helped steer American strategy, for better and worse, from the Marshall Plan through McCarthyism, Watergate, and Vietnam. The Georgetown set included Phil and Kay Graham, husband-and-wife publishers of The Washington Post; Joe and Stewart Alsop, odd-couple brothers who were among the country’s premier political pundits; Frank Wisner, a driven, manic-depressive lawyer in charge of CIA covert operations; and a host of other diplomats, spies, and scholars. Gregg Herken gives us intimate portraits of these dedicated and talented, if deeply flawed, individuals, who navigated the Cold War years (often over cocktails and dinner) with very real consequences reaching into the present day. Throughout, he illuminates the drama and fascination of that noble, congenial, curious old world,” in Joe Alsop’s words, bringing this remarkable roster of men and women not only out into the open but vividly to life.

Editor: The thing that sets Joe Alsop apart from Mr. Stephens is that Joe was in the Asian Theater of War during WWII, and in Korea during that War- he was too old for Vietnam. Mr. Stephens is in sum a Zioninst Propgandist !
