11. Last Paragraph:

"Yet it's those long-range goals of the bipartisan consensus that add up to the seven-decade-old drive for imperial hegemony, which got us into Vietnam, Iraq, and wherever we fight the next large, disastrous war. It's those goals that should be addressed. Someone has to question that drive. And what better moment to do it than now, in the midst of another failed war? Unfortunately, the leading Democratic candidates aren't about to take up the task. I guess it must be up to us."

3. Yes, read it all.

I've been noticing that in most of the candidates. "A limited Presence". "Protect our national interests (oil)".

Nobody wants to use the word "ALL".

This sure sheds much light on my view.
