Digby: Oh No He Di-unt

Not only has former neocon pin-up boy Frances Fukuyama abandoned all of his former fans, he's gone and rubbed their noses in the dirt in the worst possible way:
The End of History was never linked to a specifically American model of social or political organisation. Following Alexandre Kojève, the Russian-French philosopher who inspired my original argument, I believe that the European Union more accurately reflects what the world will look like at the end of history than the contemporary United States. The EU's attempt to transcend sovereignty and traditional power politics by establishing a transnational rule of law is much more in line with a "post-historical" world than the Americans' continuing belief in God, national sovereignty, and their military.
