The Big Zbig is coming on his daughter’s TV show — right now. I am always fascinated (and appalled) to listen to people whose heads are so far into the clouds, you could swear those heads were in their patoots.
At their core, they are utopians, eliminating at a whim the thousands of human variables we variously know as “evil”, and then, from those false premises, spin ephemeral webs of fantasy.
In the first 45 seconds of his intro, he has already mentioned the word “collective” 3 times! Can’t change the stripes.
He is now ascribing the differences between Haiti and the Dominican Rep to “Pure Luck”. It’s hard for him to tell the truth, as that would be a violation of political correctness.
Just the opposite, they are Realists/Pragmatists. It is the NeoCons, that Zbig points out as influencing GW Bush, who are the Idealists/Utopians.
And it is not just Realist Zbig who is influencing Obama, all Realist are advising Obama and endorsing his policies.
Obama's four wise old men are Kissinger, Scowcroft, Baker, and Zbig.
It thrills many to hear Cheney say Obama is dithering, but Obama was listening to Realist Colin Powell say take your time and follow the Powell Doctrine.
