	YAM April 2002 - Lion in Winter Donald Kagan
		Donald Kagan, the Hillhouse Professor of Classics and History, was eating breakfast at home in Hamden when his wife Myrna, a retired school teacher who had been watching the news, suddenly raced into the kitchen.
		To Kagan, the message that comes through loud and clear in his study of history ranging from ancient Greece to modern Europe is simply this: War is the default state of the human species.
		Kagan began finding answers in graduate school when he read the accounts of the Greek historian Thucydides, the chronicler of the Peloponnesian War, the conflict that raged between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 404 BC.

	Yale Historian Donald Kagan, Mixing the Old And the Neo
		Yale historian Donald Kagan, who sits in one of the most prestigious university chairs in America, who is almost universally admired for his books on the ancient Greeks and the Peloponnesian Wars, who won the National Humanities Medal three years ago, gave the 34th annual Jefferson Lecture last night.
		Written with his son, Frederick W. Kagan, this book begins with the disturbingly alarmist line, "America is in danger." Prescient words, it might seem, given the events of September 2001.
		Granted, Kagan's book, and his life's work, have contributed to an environment in which fear of vague potential threats often overwhelms sane evaluation of real threats (Kagan went on and on about potential WMDs in Iraq in his book, though they were never found).

		Kagan is the son of Donald Kagan, who is a professor at Yale and a fellow at the Hudson Institute.

	I. Lewis (“Scooter”) Libby: The Nexus of Washington’s Neocon Network
		Donald and Frederick both are prominent exponents of the neoconservative cause, and both signed the Sept. 20, 2001 open letter to President George W. Bush urging that the war on terrorism include the removal of Iraqi president Saddam Hussain “even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the [9/11] attack.”
		Kagan’s expertise was not merely academic: Elliott Abrams had appointed him in 1985 to head the Office of Public Diplomacy, created to push for U.S. support for the Nicaraguan Contras.
		Continued Smith, “For many European analysts, Kagan’s name is nearly as common as George Bush’s or Donald Rumsfeld’s as a symbol of the growing antagonism between the United States and its NATO allies.

		The Kagans clearly believe that the Clinton administration bears much of the blame for the situation we seem to be drifting into, but they also believe that reversing the situation will take a bipartisan consensus.

		While more conventional foreign policy experts argued that Iraq could be restrained by enforcing No-Fly Zones and by a policy of inspection by United Nations inspectors to restrict its ability to possess chemical or nuclear weapons, neoconservatives considered this policy direction ineffectual and labeled it appeasement of Saddam Hussein.
		The fullest account of this is Donald and Frederick Kagan's While America Sleeps, the entirety of which is dedicated to these comparisons.
		For example, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumseld are often identified as leading "neocons" despite the fact that both men have been life-long conservative Republicans.

		FREDERICK: I think it certainly is and one of the reasons why we chose to look at an inter-war period is because we think that we are in an inter-war period today.
		FREDERICK: Well, it is one of the differences between Britain and the United States now, in some sense, is that the British were in a much worse economic position than we have been.
		FREDERICK: I think that then Secretary Cheney and President Bush saw very clearly that the aggression that the Iraqi’s had perpetrated could not be allowed to stand.

	Kagan’s The Peloponnesian War by Mackubin T. Owens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		It is a crisp narrative of the war that supplements Thucydides’ account with the work of other authors, such as Plutarch and the Greek dramatists, Of course, Professor Kagan relies heavily on Thucydides, as any historian of the Peloponnesian War must, but he doesn’t hesitate to take issue with his judgments.
		In a 2002 interview with Yale Alumni Magazine, Professor Kagan outlined the two main truths that Thucydides teaches about international relations: that war, not peace, is the default position of the human species; and that nations fight for three reasons—fear, self-interest, and honor.
		As Professor Kagan observes, "the thin tissue of civilization that allows human beings to live decently and achieve their higher possibilities was repeatedly ripped asunder, plunging the combatants into depths of cruelty and viciousness of which only human beings at their worst are capable.

		Father Donald (The Western Heritage) and son Frederick, professors of history at Yale and West Point respectively, have combined their talents to produce a frightening story of close parallels between Great Britain in the 1920s and 1930s and America in the 1990s.

	Donald Kagan, 2005 Jefferson Lecturer----Excerpts
		From the perspective of the fifth--century Greeks the Peloponnesian War was legitimately perceived as a world war, causing enormous destruction of life and property, intensifying factional and class hostility, and dividing the Greek states internally and destabilizing their relationship to one another, which ultimately weakened their capacity to resist conquest from outside.
		He was sufficiently a historian to feel compelled to establish the particulars, to present the data as accurately as he could, but he was no less, and perhaps more, concerned to convey the general truths that he had discovered.

		In While America Sleeps, historians Donald and Frederick W. Kagan retrace Britain's international and defense policies during the years after World War I leading up to World War II, showing how self-delusion and an unwillingness to face the inescapable responsibilities on which their security and the peace of the world depended cost the British dearly.
		The Kagans then turn their attention to America and argue that our nation finds itself in a position similar to that of Britain in the 1920s.

		I know Kagan wrote four (or was it five?) books on the Peloponnesian War, but I was so bored and unimpressed that I gave up after a hundred pages of the first.
		As to Kagan's brilliance as a lecturer: it is true that there is a kind of fanatic of one idea who can often wow the undergrads, because (like certain politicians) he combines the rhetoric of authenticity with the sonority of sure conviction.
		Indeed, while Kagan regularly wowed ignorant audiences of Yale undergraduates (Is it really NOT you, Matthew-- you Cantab, you?), his critical reading of Thucydides earned him the respect of his peers.

		That said, the parallels pointed out by the Kagans between the Britain of the 1920s and 1930s and the United States of the 1990s and early 21st century are remarkable.
		The Kagans note that the peace in both cases was made with a weakened but not absolutely defeated power.
		The Kagans are not wrong when they say that the phrase, "America cannot be the world's policeman," has become tired and overused by those who are pushing other agendas.

		The Kagans leave no doubt as to the moral of their prolix story: "A situation very like ours faced another great democracy this century.
		The Kagans have too quickly jumped from a tautology-a nation strong enough always to maintain hegemony can always maintain hegemony-to the far less evident claim that a particular nation, Britain, was in the 1920s capable of making itself master of the world.
		Even if the Kagans' policy were feasible, it would fly in the face of morality.
