Jonah, folks will be talking about Krauthammer’s Fukuyama column, but I think Krauthammer’s previous column, for Time Magazine, “Today Tehran, Tomorrow the World,” tells a more revealing tale. I haven’t read Fukuyama’s new book. But I did catch that debate between Fukuyama and Krauthammer in The National Interest. What struck me then was that Fukuyama does not take the nuclear threat from rogue states and allied terrorists anywhere remotely as seriously as Krauthammer. I think Fukuyama’s and Krauthammer’s differences on the nuclear issue, not democratization, explains the differences between them. Fukuyama could never have written that column on Iran and nukes.
