Final Statement retiring to onlooker-at-the-fence mode again: Yes, Brzezinski feels rather refreshing lately, as least as far as he is allowed to make news. And he does not seem to feign to have been tricked nor does he need to resort to other mental acrobatics.
As the orders for adoration and subordination to the President-in-times-of-war feels absolutely revolting and deceptive. [not much time to think about how to better visualize the last impression in words] I will mentally leave US foreign history again and return to Germany. More precisely to the Nazi continuity as to structures and people in the German Federal Police [BKA Bundes Kriminalamt = Federal Criminal Office/Bureau/Agency]and secret services into post WWII Germany. -b --- In political-research@yahoogroups.com, Sean McBride <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I get the sense that Brzezinski has been a strong opponent of Communism on purely rational grounds: he witnessed the crimes against humanity they committed in Russia and Eastern Europe, and decided to fight them. There is no sense of the wild fanatic or Armageddonist about him -- he's sober-minded about the project. In the neocons, he probably sees the same personality type that inflicted Bolshevism, Trotskyism and Stalinism on the world, with all their attendant atrocities. His gut instinct is that they are bad news. His rational analysis is that their policy prescriptions are insane and a dangerous threat to the United States. > > We need more Brzezinskis to assert themselves in the present climate. Brzezinski, by the way, can run intellectual circles around Henry Kissinger. Kissinger is not remotely in the same class. Kissinger has been in bed with the neocons from day one, and helped bring them to power. He's definitely got that dumbing-down cult thing going on that afflicts many of the neocons, although he tries to cover it over with a thin veneer of Enlightenment sophistication. Michael Ledeen plays the same fraudulent game, with his Italian affectations. Real Italians look upon him as a poseur. > > > LeaNder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > 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.
