As I was watching it, Owen, I was thinking about how much outrage her very reasonable observations and comments would provoke among the rabid right. Hubris is never a good basis for a country's foreign policy.
Wow. Thanks for that, Lorne. Manipulation is the foundation of this Perma-War that has us in its grip. What choice remains but to kick over the traces?
When I hear the kinds of things she has to say, Mound, I am reminded of the absolute refusal of far too many people, and not all of them ideologues by any means, to listen to reasoned argument and alternative views. How different the world might be if they did.
A superb clip, Lorne. We talk much more than we listen.
