Besides, can someone confirm whether Kagan has made significant contributions to judaism? If not, I think that the categories "Jewish X" should be removed; these categories are meant to categorise people who contribute theologically, not to file people according to their personal religious convictions.

Obviously Robert Kagan is NOT a Greek name, so does anybody know what his name was before he or his family changed it? Apparently that's a common thing with some Jewish families, changing their entire name, (first, middle, and last), to downplay their Jewishness. |

Categorization
I do not want to be identified by my religion, unless everyone is identified by their religion, which is not the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wixifixer (talk • contribs) 16:42, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Can Kagan accurately be classified as a Jewish politician? Most wouldn't describe him as a politician per se, especially since he's never held (or apparently ran for) an elected office. --BDD 20:24, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
He sounds more like a philosopher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.59.249 (talk) 22:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Removed claim that Kagan joined "Skull and Bones" in 1980. Such a claim is almost impossible to believe without a citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.66.16.106 (talk) 06:35, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Revert
May I ask you kindly not to include the names of my children on this site. Sincerely, Robert Kagan.
I just revert a series of edits which had turned this article into a book cover-like praise full of peacock phrases and avoiding important facts like participation to PNAC.
The formulation appears to have been taken verbatim from a text that can be seen on carnegieendowment.org or leighbureau.com, and therefore would also constitute a violation of copyright.
Besides, can someone confirm whether Kagan has made significant contributions to judaism? If not, I think that the categories "Jewish X" should be removed; these categories are meant to categorise people who contribute theologically, not to file people according to their personal religious convictions.

Real name
Obviously Robert Kagan is NOT a Greek name, so does anybody know what his name was before he or his family changed it? Apparently that's a common thing with some Jewish families, changing their entire name, (first, middle, and last), to downplay their Jewishness.
