an excerrpt from book 'MONARCHY' by Arif Jamal

'Monarch is in a superior position, as compared to president, to create and sustain the aristocracy, again an essential and a vital constituent of a thriving civilization.'

Watch the video where holmes is intervewed by harold channer, good one there too.

He is offering his sincere opinion on the reasoning for the Iraq war, and he briefly validates the terrorist attack on 9/11 to avoid being looked upon as another conspiracy theorist.

Just like Noam Chomsky. Speaks to remain politically correct considering most people cannot understand the truth about 9/11

this guy's an amazing intellectual,

awesome video

I greatly respect Professor Holmes' erudition and intellect.

As I remember, Professor Holmes was quite a critic of that amiable dunce, Ronald Reagan. Yet that amiable dunce managed to win the cold war, a feat that was far beyond the horizon of any academic at the time.

Fast forward twenty years. The surge has succeeded. Another idiot republican president just may have facilitated an historic shift, namely, an arabic form of democratic government. Perhaps it's just dumb luck.

[adhominum25]

Fair point gpc31.

I msut however remind you that Reagan's inlfuence on "winning" the cold war was minimal. By the time he took office internal memos from the sate department (now since released) clearly show that the USSR was already fastly crumbling. Gorbachov's move to Perastroika was a radical attempt to save the Soviet union from falling into exactly the state of ruination that Reagan's hawkish pressure ensured

[gpc31]

adhominum25 -- Thanks for the comments. Could you show me the links to the state dept docs so that I could evaluate your evidence? Thanks.

[Redcarpet01]

@adhominum25 Yup, the decline of the USSR literally began in the early Brezhnev years, in the early 1970s.

[Redcarpet01]

@adhominum25 Yep, the claim the US somehow brought down the USSR is pure hubris and arrogance.

[artyphax]

Best explanation yet why Bush/Cheney invaded Iraq: The desire to turn something inpalpable into something palpable -- incredible insightful and seems to ring true.

[sutta20]

amazingly insightful..

[Jihunn]

yep, kreissler rocks!

[AbtinX]

Harry Kreisler rules, damn his a good host no matter who he meets he is a stable and open minded intellectual probe, mashallah!
