 Max Boot is Barking Mad, by Weldon Berger - Democratic Underground
Boot has responded nobly with a series of bizarre op-ed pieces including, most recently, a proposal that the U.S. seek its citizen soldiers from among the ranks of illegal aliens, non-citizens and citizens of othercountries.
Max is now so discouraged by the scuffs on his boots and the dust on his jodhpurs and the stains on his once-pristine pith helmet sweatband that he
Boot proposes adding sufficient troops to our ground forces to effectively occupy Iraq and embark simultaneously on other democracy-freighted missions; an agenda that, whether he realizes it or not, would require something along the lines of at least an additional 200,000 soldiers.

 Books: Max Boot's The Savage Wars of Peace
Boot's well-written narrative is not only fascinating reading, but didactic as well, as we learn that most of our current orthodoxy about intervention is neither historically nor logically sound.
But Boot is content to answer back that the old method of fighting small wars at least would have been no worse than unleashing tanks, bombers, and search-and-destroy missions against an enemy hardly like the Germans or Japanese.
Max Boot's The Savage Wars of Peace will seem to a few unapologetically imperialistic, but far more readers will rightly see that its message is instead a moral one--and never more timely than now.

 Standard Weekly Lies by Thomas DiLorenzo
Max Boot may not like the fact that America’s founding fathers wanted to place such limits on federal hegemony, but it is a fact of American history that Professor Woods clearly explains.
Max Boot is not one to let such facts get in his way.
That Max Boot completely ignores such statements that are even highlighted and boxed in the book is further evidence of his dishonesty.

Max Boot challenges those assumptions with example after example of wars waged by fiat of executive rather than declarations of war by congress of the people.
Max Boot is an extremely facile writer who is able with a few deft sentences and character sketches to provide an accurate history of the various small conflicts and interventions that have formed an integral part of U.S. Foreign Policy from its very beginnings.
Boot is particularly critical of Colin Powell who, when Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, developed a doctrine that would have prevented the military from engaging any activity short of total war.

 Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Neocons- by Justin Raimondo
Boot mentions the five-person "Project for a New American Century," a kind of interface between the world of neoconservative scholarship and Washington politics, more like the old "Committee on the Present Danger" than a full-fledged thinktank.
What's interesting, though, is Boot's answer to the charge that neocons are followers of Leo Strauss, the philosopher of the "noble lie," or that Trotskyism played a major role in the intellectual evolution of neoconservatism.
Boot claims that Strauss did not advocate lying to the public, but the import of his philosophy — his separation of "esoteric" and "exoteric" knowledge, with the former reserved for the intellectual elite — is clear.

 Turkish Weekly Comment - (Not in Egypt’s Defense) on Max Boot and MEMRI
Max Boot, a neo-conservative, is inciting the Bush administration to stop or decrease its aids for Egypt; however, he does not object to the United States' paying Israel double the amounts it gives to Egypt, in order for it to kill young girls inside their schools.
Boot argued that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia claim to be supporting the U.S. in its war on terror, when in fact they have bred terror more that Moammar Gadhafi did, as they do not fear a military invasion from their 'friend' America.
It seems that Max Boot, who mentioned this same military intervention and seemed to be sad because it would not invade Egypt, wants to use it in order to serve his Israeli interests on the account of the lives of American youths and the U.S. interests.

Military boot camp, humiliation, right-face and left-face, cadence songs, obeying orders, spit-shining, and “yes sir” and “no sir.” Now, that’s what the culture of a free country is all about, according to neoconservative icon Max Boot.
Boot fails to address a critical moral point: If Americans are refusing to sign up to become cannon fodder or killers of innocent people in the war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq, why is it moral to encourage or pay citizens of foreign countries to do so?

Boot insists that without an indictment on the disclosure of Plame's covert job at CIA means that there is no problem, no harm, no foul.
Boot's and the rest of the right wing chorus insistence that the Special Counsel and courts have not determined the state of Plame's covert status with respect to the IIPC guidelines is merely a misdirection in this affair.

 The Poor Man: Max Boot Desperately Needs To Shut The Fuck Up   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
So to say, by way of opening the door to legitimized torture (or whatever you want to call it), that you "hope it doesn't take another 9/11 to alert us to the mortal danger we still face," seems a bizarre way of justifying your position.
Boot, like others before him, claims that he is just trying to engage the question of what should be permitted, and that critics of torture are "grandstanding".
The only debate that matters about what is permitted appears to have already occurred over the last four years, in secret, and the current fact of the matter is that any kind of torture is permitted, if authorized by an executive fiat.

 CONSERVATIVES:--- GIVE MAX THE BOOT
Since its initial publication, the "Jack" Boot article has been the subject of much discussion, including replies from Dr. Woods himself on LewRockwell.com and in the March 28 issue of The American Conservative and defenses of Dr. Woods from such conservative luminaries as Paul Gottfried and Justin Raimondo.
But there is one aspect of the "Jack" Boot article that has not generated as much reaction as I expected.
What he pointed out, apparently as a defense of his neoconservative heroes, against one of "those types" of conservatives, had been precisely the indictment of the neos by the original conservatives since the neos joined the movement during the Cold War.
