Irene: We replay on this list what happened; reality is
reported to you, you get mad not at the reality or the
perpetrator of the reality, but at the messenger.
Obviously I don't believe you are reporting reality, but a
sort of alarmist fiction that admits no correction. You may
think I am also fabulating just as stubbornly. However, you
seem to linger on past policy mistakes, rather than look
forward to new developments, in support of your view that
the sky is falling.
Try reading _The Pentagon's New Map_ by Thomas P.M. Barnett,
for a less alarmist take on events. He's pro-globalism and
uses an information paradigm, probably has other limitations
I'm not aware of, but his is a refreshing perspective. You
can buy his book here:
