Here is the link to this interview: http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/08152008/watch.htm
Bacevich is the real deal and his insight and clarity towards America and the geopolitics involved is correct, I feel this man is authentic.
I truly believe we meet people for a purpose, becoming aware of this blog I begin to look for answers. Reading posts here struck a cord within me, all your posts have given me different insight.
I question everything, always have, always will. I need and want answers and information. Sometimes I’m shocked when Americans or people in general don’t ask, how can we not?
Jumpin, your words too made me question issues I felt are terribly wrong in the US and the world today.
I’m looking in the mirror and I know I’ve bought into the bullshit too, but I know my perspective has change.
I’m so glad you watched and felt this way. It’s a privilege and honor, because I do respect your opinion.
Ok, ok enough with my dribble.

Peace out and hopefully sleep……

Juve:

I just watched Bacevich on Moyers tonight. The man is incredible; thoughtful, honorable, calm and clear. I will have to read the book!

Apologies on posting way to much, I promise to cut down. Two last bits of info that leave me really crestfallen before I vamoose.

1. Please read, Shoulder Season by James Kunstler. I cannot stress how on target this man is.

2. Energy Bulletin has a really on the mark post, about Italy and its current economic

status. http://www.energybulletin.net/node/46216

( I think il2sopc asked once how Europeans are coping, well they’re not is the answer)
No one truly is, and while this makes for interesting and thought provoking reading, it’s punishing for me to digest.

Perspective seems to be the soup du jour. Like most studies of the US complex failed system. A framework that has become unrecognizable in recent years. It has transformed in my opinion to a nation willing to buy into worthless red herrings. Often in life we succumb or comply to the artificial barriers in our lives by the powers-that-be that put them there. The US is the ultimate in failed relations. Breaking down the barriers among foreign relations should have been foremost. The essential connections, are all too late. No one ever wants to walk in another mans shoes, the fit is never quite right. As for outrage, absolutely, I would like to see more in that department.

Picked up a very thought-provoking book today, Andrew J. Bacevich’s THE LIMITS OF POWER: THE END OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.

“Find your Russian Beauty Today” did give me a laugh, but its not on my list of things to do. (I know it adjusts to blog content) LOL
