Zbigniew Brzezinski: The Weakness of America
2008-04-29 05:43:00 American Interest Magazine I think you?re putting your finger on a major weakness of contemporary America. The weakness is that we?re more democratic than we?ve ever been before, in the sense that popular pressures translate into policy pressures very quickly. And we?re probably as ignorant as ever about the rest of the world, because everybody now lives in a kind of simplistic, trivialized virtual reality in which fact and fiction, impressions and impulses, are mixed up in an incoherent fashion. The public really has no grasp of complexities, no sense of intellectual refinement in judging them, and our political leaders have become increasingly demagogic. The way George W. Bush campaigned for the war in Iraq, with reference to fictitious WMDs, and with sweeping, simplistic, black-and-white generalizations about freedom and tyranny, is a case in point. But he was responding to our increasingly imbecilized societal condition. This is very troublesome. I think the degeneration of the...

Brzezinski on withdraw from Iraq
2008-04-04 00:00:00 The Smart Way Out of a Foolish War Yet again, Zbigniew Brzezinski lays it out clear as can be why we need to get out of Iraq: If the American people had been asked more than five years ago whether Bush's obsession with the removal of Saddam Hussein was worth 4,000 American lives, almost 30,000 wounded Americans and several trillion dollars -- not to mention the less precisely measurable damage to the United States' world-wide credibility, legitimacy and moral standing -- the answer almost certainly would have been an unequivocal "no." Nor do the costs of this fiasco end there. The war has inflamed anti-American passions in the Middle East and South Asia while fragmenting Iraqi society and increasing the influence of Iran. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent visit to Baghdad offers ample testimony that even the U.S.-installed government in Iraq is becoming susceptible to Iranian blandishments. In brief, the war has become a national tragedy, an economic catastrophe, ...
Zbigniew Brzezinski On Getting Out Of a Foolish War
2008-03-29 21:31:00 Zbigniew Brzezinski has an op-ed in The Washington Post which makes a number of excellent points, beginning with the characterization of the war as foolish in the title. Those who argue against leaving point out the risks of leaving but ignore the damage that is done by staying. I think many liberal bloggers have being playing ...

Brzezinski Embraces Obama Over Clinton for President
2007-08-24 23:18:00 Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the most influential foreign-policy experts in the Democratic Party, threw his support behind Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, saying the Illinois senator has a better global grasp than his chief rival, Hillary Clinton. Obama ``recognizes that the challenge is a new face, a new sense of direction, a new definition of America's role in the world,'' Brzezinski said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's ``Political Capital with Al Hunt.'' ``Obama is clearly more effective and has the upper hand,'' Brzezinski, who was President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, said. ``He has a sense of what is historically relevant, and what is needed from the United States in relationship to the world.'' Brzezinski, 79, dismissed the notion that Clinton, 59, a New York senator and the wife of former President Bill Clinton, is more seasoned than Obama, 46. ``Being a former first lady doesn't prepare you to be president,'' Brzezinski said....

Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC Refuses To Read A Lead Story About Paris Hilton~Ho
2007-07-12 01:10:00 BU gives Mika Brzezinski a pat on the back for showing her two male colleagues on the news show that she has bigger balls than they do. Instead of steeping back while recognizing that here was a colleague exhibiting extraordinary resolve to do what has never been done before. We should not forget the producer of the news who rolled the Paris video. BU just for a fleeting moment wondered if any media practitioner in Barbados would ever exhibit the commitment to the profession as Mika Brzezinski has done.

2007-07-05 10:05:00 Praising national and international broadcasters has been part of my watching-tv activity everyday. When i was watching tv-patrol world on their world reports segment yesterday evening, i was amazed with the bravery of Mika Brzezinski of MNSBC in their show "Morning Joe". Intrigued by the story, i checked it out in youtube.Look at what she did.This youtube video is collecting feedbacks from across the planet these days.To be clear with what she did and what her partners were thinking, here's the link.I was astonished when first saw the video but then i admired her. Mika was really firm on her conviction that Paris Hilton reports are not really reasonable for the lead most especially that it was a morning show.For me, what she did is just right. Reporting Paris Hilton as the lead is just "stupid". Well, yah, I know that Paris is such a famous, influential celebrity in the face of the globe in the present era and reporting stories about celebrities like Hilton's graceful exit f...

I have a new hero and her name is Mika Brzezinski
2007-07-01 19:50:00 We always love to see the movies in which the hero stands his ground against the might of the villian[since we never had the guts to do so]... But if something like that happens in real life, I believe it is the duty of the cowards like me to salute these rare heroes. Mika Brzezinski, an experienced newscaster and journalist - is one such person who stood up against the Mighty.What did she do?She stood her ground and refused to read her segment's lead news item on Paris Hilton on live citing that it does not deserve to be the leading news item. Clips of her shredding the script were the lead item on the Technorati search, while the blogosphere is alight with praise of her. (FYI - Paris Hilton is one of the most searched terms in Google).Read the whole news here - 'I have a new hero and her name is Mika Brzezinski'. Waiting to see Mika Brzezinski of 'Times of India'...P.S - Thanks Govar for the news.

Video: Brzezinski, Kissinger & Scowcroft on Charlie Rose

US Press Strangely Silent On Brzezinski?s Warnings
2007-05-15 07:15:00 US Press Silent on Brzezinski?s Warnings Of War Against IranWatch the video ...Former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Brzezinski predicts provoking war with Iran. He calls the Iraq War a Historic, Strategic and Moral Calamity.If the United States continues to be bogged down in a protracted bloody involvement in Iraq, the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam at large.A plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran involves Iraqi failure to meet the benchmarks; followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure; then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a "defensive" U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.Why is the US press silent on Brzezinski...

El "Yo acuso" de Brzezinski
0000-00-00 00:00:00 Y mientras tanto, la “cultura del miedo” que describe Zbigniew Brzezinski seguramente se transformará en los próximos días en parte del paisaje estadunidense como la goma de mascar, la cerveza en el refrigerador y el fútbol americano. Zbigniew Brzezinski, ex consejero de Seguridad Nacional del presidente James Carter, no es alguien de quien se pueda decir que tiene la sensibilidad de un modisto italiano, un bailarín de ballet ruso o un gourmet francés. Y la definición de “halcón” le queda tan chica como un traje tres tallas menor que su tamaño real. Nacido en Polonia hace 79 años, profesor en la Universidad John Hopkins y autor de diez libros de geopolítica, Brzezinski está considerado junto con Henry Kissinger como uno de los más prestigiosos analistas de la política exterior estadounidense en el mundo. Añejo socio del banquero David Rockefeller –nieto del magnate petrolero John D. Rockefeller, fundador de la filantrópica Standard Oil– Brzezinski es ...
