The confrontation of the West with Communism, Strauss wrote in The City and Man, has demonstrated that "no bloody or unbloody change of society can eradicate the evil in man: as long as there will be men, there will be malice, envy and hatred, and hence there cannot be a society which does not have to employ coercive restraint." Strauss implies, among other things, that the extravagant hope for permanent progress in human affairs believed in by Woodrow Wilson and his contemporary admirers is a delusion. In particular, Strauss wrote, the ideal of "a universal state, unitary or federative" (Strauss appears to be speaking of the United Nations) is also a delusion. "If that federation is taken too seriously," said Strauss, "as a milestone on man's onward march toward the perfect and hence universal society, one is bound to take great risks supported by nothing but an inherited and perhaps antiquated hope, and thus to endanger the very progress one endeavors to bring about."\n\nTo begin with, then, according to Strauss each nation should conduct its own foreign policy, and it should not turn its policy over to international organizations. In current parlance, Strauss was a unilateralist, not a multilateralist.\n\nread more at the link below

he is a hack. he doesn't even qualify to be a homosapien, be belongs with the lower primates, but nobody important has managed to kick up a ruckus and get him in trouble, he is well protected by his cronies.\n\ninstead of the whole communist regime of russia, they should've had this guy running the place, the nazis would've had 100% success with operation barbarossa because he is medically braindead.

Interesting. I liked the whole comment about having a lack of tension. I may be wrong, but I think the guy's from Iran. Don't they kind of have a habit of ignoring the international community and causing just a wee bit of tension on the rest of the PLANET? Besides, he underestimates the intellect of the American people; we are perfectly used to political rhetoric trying to play our emotions off of current events so that we form a favorable opinion to their cause(in this case namely "destroying the Zionist Jews") I hope he doesn't plan his reelection on it. Oh ya, if he gets thrown out, he'll just kill who he has to in order to get back.

I love this "GUY"! I am assuming that you most likely know something about the Confederacy. Isn't this a mirror of Robert E. LEE. Hitler most certainly looked at some of his strategies to promote suicidal troops with the Civil War. General Lee was also a graduate of West Point along with General Grant. This whole thing has been written before is my point. This ridiculous continuation of NEO-CONSERVATIVE policies as the Nazis that they are, is getting real old, and you know that it wont last. Keep up the Good Work, and don't let them abuse you.

Because the secular progressives want someone in the UN who will help make us more like socialist Europe and who will kiss UN butt at every opportunity. Clinton used our underfunded military as the UN's personal police force during his administration, and winked at UN scandals and abuses. Bush and Bolten won't do that, so Bolten has to go. Besides the dems are feeling their oats now and will do whatever they can to hurt Bush and his administration. (Look for lots of liberal judges to be appointed soon).

He is trying to do whats right under the best of his ability,however no matter how he handles this war the man cant do a thing right.The libs called for removal of Rumsfeld and when Bush got rid of him then the libs whined about that.As long as we have people like you that continue to see this mission as a failure,we dont need communists from other countries coming in,we have plenty here.

Otto Skorzeny was a storm trooper extraordinaire.  He was a devoted Nazi through and through and was a favorite of Hitler.  He ran a successful mission to rescue Mussolini towards the end of the war.  He ran infiltration groups dresses as American soldiers during the Battle of the Bulge.  He also alledgedly was involved in setting up the Odessa escape organization that helped my Nazis flee Germany and head to South America.  He was not necessarily a very nice guy, but he certainly was the "go to" paratrooper for the Third Reich.  He was called the "Most Dangerous Man in Europe", led a fascinating life, and died of cancer at age 67.

Right out of the Gestapo play book. He played the fear card, and yet sent all of our American protection over sea's. "HUH" Where is the Coast Guard & the National Guard, they have never been deployed outside of our Country during War times. That doesn't make any sense if we are in trouble of attacks 24/7. So it's all bull-poo.

Yeah I can. I've studied American Foreign Policy. When is it due? How long is it? Do you need references?

At the beginning of the 20th Century, there was a strong isolationist lobby in Congress, particularly on the Republican side.  They opposed getting involved in European wars, abiding by George Washington's advice given on his retirement that the US should avoid foreign entanglements.  However, the German U-Boat attacks and the reckless Zimmerman affair pushed the US to act.

Not quite sure. Never heard of him. What state was he born in? That Venezuelan guy was not born in the USA so he could never be president.   \n\nBut I guess there is some USA born "Hugo Chavez" somewhere.  Maybe he's a good bloke. Tell me all about him.

He's a TRUE liberal leader.  All Dems should be like him and the country would benefit both socially and financially as awell as culturally and morally from someone like Feingold.  Feingold for Pres ALL THE WAY!

P. Bush is Ddubbyas grandpa.  He was the Bush who funded Adolph Hitler and even got profits from Jewish slave labor in the camps before FDR shut him down with a special act of Congress called the Trading With The Enemies Law in 1942.  Not many like him after they find out what he was doing.

Very interesting.  \nThe CIA has always been a morally amiguous organizition which serves the government not in the interests of right and wrong but in guaranteeing US military might throughout the world.  Ex-Nazis were probably used to make connections and guarantee some flow of information.  \nI especially like that the article points out the sentiment of the war on communism took precedent over right and wrong within our government, however slanted a view that is.
