Hi Frank,

That was my favorite reply of the morning! Very nicely written. Well reasoned and generally completely on the mark, as long as you regard me as a caricature of a leftist. However, assuming that I'm endorsing every link that litany of leftism is incorrect. I tend, like you, to regard Fisk as a fool. For gosh sakes, I'm tending to support Richard Riordan for Governor of California. Hardly a leftist's stance. <g>

Re: In foreign policy realm if you find your analysis doesn't yield a plethora of motives (falsifiability) you have been ensorcelled.

Say what? Run that by me one more time. My simple view is that foreign policy is always designed to serve a purpose, hidden or plainly stated. Please explain how I've been bewitched by regarding realpolitic as the basis of policy? I'm trying to follow your logic here, and it leads me to wonder if you want me to believe that we have foreign policy that is specious and has no basis in solving an underlying purpose or problem? That seems far-fetched to me.

Cordially, Ray
