THE RUDY GIULIANI Presidential Committee has announced that former
advisors to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher Robert
Conquest and Dr. Nile Gardiner are supporting Mayor Giuliani for
President. Conquest will serve as a member of the Senior Foreign Policy
Advisory Board and Gardiner, the Director of the Margaret Thatcher
Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, will serve as a member of
the European Advisory Board.
The other new addition to the Mayor's foreign policy team is National
Review Senior Editor David Pryce-Jones, who joins as a Senior Foreign
Policy Advisor.
Reports the Angry Arab blog: "In the first edition of his lousy book,
The Closed Circle, the book lists Turkey as an Arab country. So he knows
the Middle East as much as Rudy."
Thatcher was the brains behind Ronald Reagan. True, Reagan was not as
corrupt as Nixon or Clinton, nor as gleefully imperial as George Bush
the Lesser, and the damage he did was largely unintentional, the fatal
mischief of a small minded man granted too much power.
But the result was to begin the decline and fall of the first American
republic by convincing its leaders, media, and citizens that the main
thing they needed for happiness was a free, unfettered market
accompanied by sufficient faux cowboy rhetoric. That there was never any
empirical evidence for the absurd economic assumptions didn't matter;
his charm sufficed where logic failed.
The result: a a middle class with substantially greater problems, a
lower class far more ignored, an ecology far more damaged, a much larger
gap between rich and poor and between CEO and employee, Medicare and
Social Security in danger and a culture of greed and narcissism that has
buried ideals of democracy, community, and cooperation.

You refer to David Pryce-Jones and his "lousy book", which in its first edition is said to list Turkey as an Arab country
I can't find Pryce-Jones listing Turkey as an Arab country in my first edition of "The Closed Circle" (thought am willing to be corrected with a page reference) but do note that both front and back inside covers have large maps that clearly exclude Turkey as an Arab country.
Do you endorse the Angry Arab Blog's categorising it as a lousy book? If so, why?
