From IPS News, here is R. James Woolsey, Jr., a neocon warmonger once inexplicably picked by Clinton to head the CIA:

Speaking wistfully about the Cold War, Woolsey compared the Islamist political resurgence in the Middle East with the then-Communist government in Moscow, describing the latter as the “ideal enemy.”

“I have a certain bizarre nostalgia for the Soviet Union,” said Woolsey. “It is our misfortune that today we have to live with Sunni and Shi’ite totalitarianism.”

…which is to say that R. James Woolsey, Jr., goes all warm and fuzzy when he remembers how good it used to feel having a bogeyman that never actually attacked us but, unlike Iraq, actually could have. It would never have occurred to him that it might feel even better not to believe in bogeymen at all. To a neocon, the life without fear is the life not worth living.

Incidentally, while I’m off the subject, Woolsey is another one of these guys who parts his name on the left like I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Jr., and L. Paul Bremer III. This sort of thing would be acceptable only if their given first names had been schoolyard embarrassments like Reginald, Ichabod, or Longfellow. But there is no excuse for hiding Robert, Irv and Lewis from view.
