Jean Bethke Elshtain Responds By Jean Bethke Elshtain SUMMER 2006

WHETHER in agreement or demurral, one reads Michael Walzer with
interest and respect. His work is a welcome contrast to the vicious
rhetoric of accusation and denunciation that is so much a part of
our public life.

Isn’t that an inviting opening? Elshtain thinks Walzer isn’t aggressive enough
in his interventionism.

Meanwhile, why don’t these wankers give much consideration to the
damage done by their own government and its allies? The word “Israel”
is curiously missing from Walzer’s essay, an intro to a new edition
of his book on Just Wars.
