What makes Brzezinski so refreshing, by contrast, is that he does not suffer from this mental condition -- call it a mental disease, actually, because that is what it is: something akin to an obsessive-compulsive disorder expressed as extreme ethnocentrism. He doesn't divide the world messianically into ethnic insiders and ethnic outsiders. He is able to think objectively and rationally about global politics -- clean and sweet, fresh air, compared to the suffocating noxious fumes and over-the-top rants emanating from the twisted psyches of the neocons.
VMANN: yeah, he wants to nuke moscow, not tehran. nerdmann
