I hope kossacks are able to see this program. All of the speakers were great. Jim Lobe connects all the dots between Rumsfeld, PNAC, Libby, Feith, Perle, Christian Right, Israel, Bolton, Kristol, Cheney the whole bunch. He brings the story right up to today and what's going on in Lebanon. He talks about the Realists, (condi, powell) vs. the Neocons (all the rest of them).
This subject is important and is influencing all other decisions this adminstration has made, and will continue to make.
If the Democratic Party is going to take us in a different direction, they have to confront this philosophy, not run from it.
