William Greider has a blog! I didn't know that before, but I am adding it this minute to my Blogroll. Meanwhile, here is an excellent essay from his blog about the inherent contradictions in pursuing imperialism (badly) while jabbering about idealism and democracy (unconvincingly). And why Bush should adopt the "Aiken plan" for ending the Vietnam war (declare victory and get out) in response to Iraq. (The downside of that is it might help him be elected in 2004).
