Real Time was excellent tihs week.

Garafaolo and Rushdie were absolutely on the mark on all topics. Schuerer was an interesting addition and I was surprised to hear someone give voice to the idea that perhaps our foreign policies in the ME are to our detriment as a nation. I'm glad I finally got to see this program.

1. I will watch it

on re-play this week. It sounded like it might be a good show.

Michael Scheuer's two books "Through Our Enemies' Eyes" and "Imperial Hubris" both make the case that our foreign policy is the primary cause of the hatred that radical Islam has for the USA. Both of the "Anonymous" books are worth reading. I say that not as an endorsement of all of Michael's work while running the Usama bin Laden group, but rather because the books provide insight that the executive and legislative branches are not willing to discuss.
