Moyers Interview with Andrew J. Bacevich


Click here or on image above to link to video.
I know, it takes an hour to watch, and who's got an hour. But if you want as good an analysis as you're going get of the roots of America's fall from grace, this is it. It's not a bunch of liberal claptrap, either. Basevich is a political conservative.

AWESOME!

when, near the end, bacevich discloses that he lost his son in iraq, the emotional mixes with the intellectual and an articulate gentleman becomes a father, ex soldier becomes a broken man.

virtually everything he tells us about the war against terrorism and the imperial presidency we already knows but he calmly and expertly puts it in perspective.

someone should tie the absolutely worst president in american history to a chair and force him to watch this interview. wouldn't be a bad thing for obama and maccain to watch it also.

thanks chuck

Thanks Chuck...great video...would be an excellent watch for all of today's youth, am definitely going to save this for use in my future classroom. The younger generation needs to learn that we must put our lives in perspective before it is too late.
