RECOMMENDED READINGAgain, I find myself behind the 8 ball in terms of time. There are some fine posts though that you should really take the time to look at:
Dan at tdaxp argues for
a Post-Russia break up on the Federal District model.
Wretchard at The Belmont Club examines the Pentagon's new intelligence capabilities. I'm all for this by the way. I'm also for the CIA further developing its own paramilitary prowess. Similar capabilities, different mission emphasis. Civilian intel will never collect the type of info on a priority basis that military commanders need and vice-versa.
Marc Schulman at American Future on Historical illiteracy.
Ralph Luker at Cliopatriarch on
the moral reasoning of historians - was Darwin really responsible for the Holocaust ??
CKR at Whirledview on
New Nukes and Ambiguity.
