<TD vAlign=top>One of MY main goals is to get US decision makers to rethink the policy of endless war, much as the European powers have done. Andrew Bacevich -- middle of the road ex army guy -- is getting far more media attention, and he's being taken more seriously than somebody from the radical left, and his message just may make a difference. I'm hoping it's a NYT Bestseller.

<DIV>The "progressive" left loves to be all over any apparent crack in the establishment facade. Sometimes, it's worthwhile in terms of an insider perspective, cf., during the Bush Admin. But I think there's more than that going on--the residual need for many on the left to show that they're not really radical--that "respectable" people agree with them. And Bacevich has found his niche there. He doesn't get any tough questions from Goodman, except somewhat belatedly and pointlessly at the end. I'm not sure what they're thinking interviewing this man in a softball match, or maybe I am sure and want to cut Goodman some slack.</DIV>
