There is now a US chapter to the Euston Manifesto. Analysis and critique here and here. Anyone sharing in the claimed aspirations of the manifesto -- a thorough remaking of the Middle East, from a liberal hawk perspective, can sign. An ever expanding list of worthies is appended, whose comments capture what's wrong with the manifesto e.g. "thoughtful, nuanced, courageous, and immensely decent statement", "I believe the Democrat who adopts the manifesto's message as the guiding sentiment behind their foreign policy will be the Democrat who wins the 08 nomination."
But at some point, it's not clear when, the pranksters arrived. For instance, a signatory: Michael Ledeen, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute. Heh indeed. It's possible it's actually him. Not so with a later arrival: Paul Wolfowitz, President, http://www.worldbank.org, Get them damned Arabs!
UPDATE: The Wolfowitz signature has been removed but Ledeen's is still there.
