The Antisocial Socialist

Good riddance, I agree. Interesting is that Zbigniew Brzezinski, president Carter's national security advisor, encouraged Carter to loosen the 'restrictions' on selling arms to Suharto's Indonesia. Now Brzezinski is endorsing Barack Obama, along with many neo-cons. And for good reason:

In his speech, Obama called for an increase in defence spending and an extra 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 marines to “stay on the offense” against terrorism and ensure America had “the strongest, best-equipped military in the world”. He talked about building democracies, stopping weapons of mass destruction and the right to take unilateral action to protect US “vital interests” if necessary, as well as the importance of building alliances.

“Personally, I liked it,” Kagan wrote.

Sort of a cheap way to work in a bash on Obama, but I really didn't have anything to say about Suharto.
