His argument is explained in "At the Point of a Gun: Democratic Dreams and Armed Intervention."

He is interviewed by Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.), former Democratic Presidential Candidate, NATO Allied Supreme Commander, who led the military operation in Kosovo, and the editor of Palgrave Macmillan's "Great Generals Series." ======== I have always had fun with the David Rieffs, on the wrong side of the galileon edison jeffersonial globe.
