What Gave Us the Right

IS George W. Bush not only the most conservative president we've ever
had, but an entirely new kind of conservative whose ideas will
dominate American politics for the foreseeable future? Or is he --
along with the neoconservative ''Straussians'' who advised him to go
to war in Iraq -- not really a conservative at all, but a daring
crusader who'd make a real conservative like Leo Strauss turn over in
his grave? Oddly, the better-written and more politically astute of
two recent books, ''The Right Nation,'' by John Micklethwait and
Adrian Wooldridge, offers the wrong answer to these questions, while
the often incoherent one, Anne Norton's ''Leo Strauss and the Politics
of American Empire,'' gets them right.
