      Krauthammer's central political project was to furnish a conception of American power that culminated in the Iraq invasion. He couldn't have been more explicit about it. If you think his alleged good personal traits overshadow that contribution, you need to get your head checked

      It wasn't as if Krauthammer just happened to write a couple pro-Iraq war columns. Creating that groundwork is what he devoted the full weight of his 'intellectual' energy to, over decades. Here's what he declared in February 2003, weeks before the invasionpic.twitter.com/pA39SgTBaB

          As the passage illustrates, Krauthammer's ambition was for the US to be a perpetually expansionist, democracy-spreading empire, and he was to be its great philosopher king. Has any political endeavor failed as spectacularly and disastrously as that one?

          Krauthammer's later criticism of Trump wasn't a deviation from this conviction, but a continuation of it. He detested Trump on the ground that Trump was a poor steward of American empire, and perhaps a sign of its inevitable decline. He wasn't entirely wrong about that, either

          As is so often the case in American media, rather than atone for his catastrophic failures, Krauthammer only prospered. Fox News gave him a sinecure where he could present as the Reasonable Conservative. He never had to undergo any serious reckoning with the fruits of his project

          Instead he retreated into memoir-writing, so that his personal history would become a dominant feature of how he's remembered. In 2013, Fox News treated him to a gauzy special entitled, "A Life That Matters." Yeah, his life 'mattered' -- for all the wrong reasons
