Philip Terzian reviews Norman Podhoretz's new book World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism in the October 1, 2007, Weekly Standard :

You can hardly expect Norman Podhoretz, or anyone contending with the facts, to comprehend the motives of, say, the Noam Chomskys or Gore Vidals of our world: Their belligerence and derision about their country and its enemies is probably explained by psychiatry, not political science. But the virus that infects them seems to have spread beyond the asylum. With a handful of honorable exceptions, the left is so distracted by contempt for George W. Bush, and so determined to frustrate his administration on principle, that it has lost all perspective on the war on terror, and seems willing to gamble the national interest for political advantage.
