Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

Today's Israel Post

By Matthew Yglesias

Mar 18 2007, 11:35 AM ET Comment

UDPATE: Eh, I'm taking this down . . . not only did it have a bunch of typos, but they were significantly obscuring my meaning on a subject where it's worth being clear. What I wanted to do was link to Nicholas Kristof's observation that "Democrats are railing at just about everything President Bush does, with one prominent exception: Mr. Bush’s crushing embrace of Israel."

Then I wanted to draw a distinction between two kinds of Democrats. One are Democrats who aren't railing at Bush's Israel policy because they agree with Bush's Israel policy. The other kind are Democrats who do disagree with Bush's Israel policy but who are trying to signal that fact quietly, rather than railing about it, because they think it's too politically risky to rail.
