I can never put my finger on it, but he seems to me to be, in a subtle way, always glorifying WAR.

Thanks for the information, Koko. It's hard to keep up with all the 'entities' that have influence over our Government.

The only people who don't, are the American people themselves.

I haven't watched the video yet. But I think what you are saying is that there are some good people behind the scenes and this is one of them, at least at the level they are at.

I believe that too, but I think they are outnumbered at this stage.

Sometimes you get the feeling there is trouble in their lofty paradise.

I got that feeling with the Strauss Kahn situation. I listened to some of his speeches about the IMF and its predatory loans eg, and was surprised at how left leaning he was. And it explained to me why he ended up being driven out in favor of a more 'third way' type.
