Matt makes his triumphant return to TPMCafe this week to blog about his new book, Heads in the Sand: How the Republicans Screw Up Foreign Policy and Foreign Policy Screws Up the Democrats.

In his first post, he tackles the question of what kind of foreign policy will emerge in the post-Bush era:

[A] surprisingly broad swathe of opponents of Bush-style foreign policy object to it on oddly narrow grounds. Neither Hillary Clinton, who of course voted to authorize the use of force against Iraq, nor Barack Obama, who did not, have been willing to disavow the underlying doctrinal concept of unilateral preventive war as a tool of non-proliferation policy.

Participating in the Book Club discussion: David Shorr of Democracy Arsenal, Bryan Katulis of the Center for American Progress, and Justin Logan of the Cato Institute.
