don't look for salvation in a former American military general. His political scope is already limited by his loyalty to the American war-machine.

The people of the Middle East DO need to be offered something more as an alternative to radical ideology, but that needs to come within, without outside intervention. The people of the Middle East need to support homegrown movements of reform, free of the stink of foreign financing, to change. You don't introduce new "ideologies" behind the barrel of a gun, Mr. Clark.

That's the problem with military types. At least he does a little more thinking than most Fox News "Generals", but Clark, at the end of the day, is yet another Gringo imperial ex-general.
