Politics

This morning I listened to a deep thought provoking interview with Andrew Bacevich. Mr. Bacevich currently is an author who teaches history and international relations at Boston University. A West Point graduate, retired Army colonel, and Vietnam veteran, he speaks with a clear articulation of the United States post WWII politics and the direction in which this country has turned. He threads politics, people, and policy into a-ha moments of recognition that explain why the United States is where it is today. His recent book THE LIMITS OF POWER: THE END OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM is on my reading list.

As I wrote this a thought occurred to me that this impressive man would make a fine vice-president for either candidate.

Here are some links for more information.
