Interesting. I never knew the *National Interest *was a neo-con journal. The reason, is that I never really cared to look beyond the specific issue that the NI excels in: the debates and discussions around military technology as used by the U.S. and and how it stacks up against other countries latest developments in human destruction. NI reflects the ruling class debates over military expenditures, weapons systems and deployment. NI plays the same role with regards to these issues as* Foreign Affairs *does in reflecting a wing of ruling class' foreign policy initiatives and proposals (and is still very useful in this role). I haven't read the article that Louis posted but you can be sure the ideas that flow from it due represent (or at least are read!) by various important policy wonks in the government (and despite it's neo-Con heritage, read by the same types in both parties).
