A Critical Look Ahead

Why talk to Zbigniew Brzezinski, an adviser to a failed President who botched the Iran crisis and, paid by the Saudis? If not for Sadat he would not make peace between Israel and Egypt. I think Zbigniew Brzezinski is a worthless. Alex Levitzki

Brzezinski wrote a book (the grand chessboard) on what Americas geo political startegies should be. To sum up: isolate and humiliate Russia, encircle them with NATO and break it up to 3 smaller nations.
In any other country he would be labelled as a fascist, but in America is is one of the most respected Russia expert...
In every part of the world America is viewed as the biggest threat to international peace due to their aggressive expansion of the american empire. How about voting for someone who does not believe in dominating the whole world with weapons? Or is such an option not available in the American democracy?

John McCain is an avid reader and is known for rereading many works of his favorite authors. The favorite author of John McCain is Herman Wouk who has written The Winds of War, War and Remembrance, and the Caine Mutiny. Wouk served as an executive Naval officer aboard a minesweeper during War War II and used that experience in forming the character of Captain Queeg in the Caine Mutiny. Victor Henry the main character in Winds of War and War and Remembrance was a naval officer who became a confidant both to FDR and Harry Truman. FDR and Harry Truman went outside the normal channels of military command and relied on Victor Henry for straight talk advice on how to approach Russia and Germany and Japan prior and during World War II. John McCain sees himself as the Victor Henry character who was a realist in foreign policy and understood the nuances of war and foreign policy better than anyone. John McCain is a realist and more knowledgeable about foreign policy than either Joe Biden or Barack Obama due to his experiences and also just growing up as the son and grandson of Navy admirals. It is totally inaccurate to argue that John McCain is somehow dogmatic in his approach and understanding of foreign affairs. Herman Wouk wove history into his novels. There is saying that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat history. John McCain knows history and has lived it and will use that knowledge to guide the United States through the tough challenges that we face in the war on terror and dealing with a resurgent Russia.
