I am not sure we have had any reasonable men working in the field of foreign policy, certainly not men who are grounded in the real world.
Are there any men who are independent of AIPAC or big business? I suspect there are but it is not likely they would be nominated for any appointee position nor could they elected.
I just don't feel the power brokers will allow American foreign policy to breathe the air of a broader view. As we have seen in recent financial news the players have been "saved" by us, the people, while they continue on their merry way using us, the people. What happened to free market capitalism? Did it die in the 20th?
There should be a center of gravity for all concerned where business makes money and the people don;t feel like they have been violated.
The darkness I see has been seen by generations past and it appears that in each case eventually the light of progress prevailed. Perhaps that is the long view but I fear 500 years of darkness should not have to be endured for some small increment of progress to triumph.
Where are the heroes of our age?
