Bacevitch Interview from todays' NPR Fresh Air
Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 14:24 Ron and I sat transfixed in the parking lot of our weekly Yoga class. It was just another NPR (National Public Radio) ‘moment’, when you just can’t leave the car because the interview is just that compelling. Terri Gross, the host of Fresh Air, was interviewing retired Army Colonel, Andrew Bacevich about his book “The Limits of Power: The end of American exceptionalism”.
Bacevich rejects the notion that the United States possesses a unique tradition of ‘liberation’.
Fresh Air from WHYY, September 11, 2008 ยท Andrew J. Bacevich, a professor of history and international relations at Boston University and a retired Army colonel, discusses his new book, The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism.
He argues that pragmatic realism has always been the core of American foreign policy, and current politicians would do well to remember that.
