<< NEW YORK, Jan 15: The appointment and the confirmation of retired Gen Colin
Powell as the next US secretary of state is tantamount to "the militarization
of the State Department and the triumph of military over civilian control",
says writer Christopher Hitchens in an article published in the magazine,
"The Nation".
In a most revealing and candid piece on the power of the US armed forces,
Hitchens says that "the most important moment in Powell's career as a
Republican came in the first months of the first Clinton Administration, when
he organized and led a political mutiny against the Commander in Chief,"{
President Bill Clinton in 1992) and saw the mutiny succeed. >>
I don't always agree with Hitchens, but he's dead on in this case. I
suppose it's all right. The Republicans have declared a war soon after
taking the presidency almost every time they've managed to get into that
office, so this time they'll really be prepared. No more silly worrying
about what State will think. State is a general, and generals just love war.
