Interesting PBS Frontline broadcast tonight: "Give War a Chance"

FRONTLINE explores the bitter divide between military and civilian
attitudes about where, when, and why America employs military force. In
examining the gulf between what American diplomats want and what the
military is prepared to deliver, correspondent Peter J. Boyer follows the
inevitable collision from Vietnam to the Balkans between diplomat Richard
Holbrooke and Admiral Leighton Smith. Their careers, and ultimate clash,
represent the most vivid example of this critical foreign policy dilemma.

Special reports on the web site include one examining the evolution of the
doctrine on the use of military force and, a chronology of significant U.S.
military interventions over the past 30 years. Also published on the site is an
analysis of the new kind of diplomacy--the concept of 'nation-building'
backed by military might. Several top experts debate the pros and cons. The
site also offers brief biographies of Holbrooke and Smith, parallel
chronologies of their lives and careers and, a selection of key readings on the
issues examined in the FRONTLINE broadcast.
