Aw propaganda, a tool so often used to turn ends into means to an end. I recall learning how to do that with class, just one class, all first class, not a ever shifting pyramid of people playing games like king of the retard hill . . Herd of moronic lemmings traumatized me on their way to the water again. I prefer to call it spin, hoping that someone less narcissistic will see a different angle and stop the vicious cycle before it comes back around for some other poor civilian non-combatant.

great interview. interesting point made at minute 24 which runs counter to the "soft power" concept of joseph nye. the evidence seems to support scheuer over nye.
