Would a Koch Takeover of Cato Make War with Iran More Likely?

The drumbeat for war in Iran is getting louder, but opposition is coming
from a seemingly unlikely source: the Cato Institute. This libertarian
think tank generally sides with the Right, but it has long shown an
independent streak, sometimes bucking conservative orthodoxy on civil
liberties, the war on drugs, and U.S. militarism.
.
Will that change if Charles and David Koch succeed in their efforts to
take over Cato?
.
The group is locked in a legal battle with the billionaire brothers, who
have filed a lawsuit to appoint two-thirds of Catos board of directors.
Today, Cato chairman Bob Levy has released a letter accusing the Kochs of
trying to steer the group in a more partisan direction and compromise its
independence. As detailed in Brave New Foundations upcoming film Koch
Brothers Exposed, the Kochs are indeed notoriously partisan, funding
Republican politicians in each election cycle and now allegedly promising
to devote more than $200 million to defeating President Obama in 2012.
Although they have long been financial backers of Catothe group was
originally named the Charles Koch Foundationthis move would put the
organization entirely under their control.
.
Thats scary. For now, several thinkers at Cato are opposing the rush to
war with Iran and refusing to shy away from criticizing Republicans.
Senior fellow Doug Bandow writes, The consequences of any war with Iran
would be extraordinary. Probably far worse than resulted from the invasion
of Iraq. He assails Republican presidential candidates for their reflexive
war-mongering against Iran because every additional threat to attack Iran
only more clearly demonstrates to Tehran the necessity of developing
nuclear weapons.

Independent voices like those at Cato serve a critical function in the
national debate on war and peace. They show that peace is not simply the
domain of progressives; its something that Americans of any political
stripe can get behind. Without such voices, progressives can more easily
be marginalized and ignored.
