Fred Kaplan on bhTV

plugs his new book, , and talks about post-hegemonic America, terrorism, and the Iraq War.

Kaplan's best plug sounds as if this book is competition for Thomas P.M. Barnett's . Barnett's great service was an insider's look at the 1990's Defense Department attempting to articulate a post-Cold War vision for American global leadership.

    • Bal(t)imoron: @ Brendan: the post entitled "Little Boys Pissing on the Detonators", which honestly was a unique outburst, is doing that quite nicely. Now, pick a brunette, like Jeanette Lee, and I'll bite.
    • Brendan: Just mention Madonna in your posts. People will come for he sex and stay for the foreign policy, or so I'm told. Seems to be working for me: my latest post has already caused Google's servers to overload twice.
