Foreign Policy Research Institute
This morning, the local drive-time Preston & Steve Show had an interview with Edward A. Turzanski, a Senior Fellow of the Foreign Policy Research Institute and a national security analyst at La Salle University. After feeling bummed about the election yesterday, this guy reminded me that the fight against Islamic Fascism is a long one, and that many of those who voted against Bush on Tuesday did so not because they were Noam Chomsky Kool-Aid drinkers, but realists who wanted to see a change in our outlook there.
He suggested that we were trying too hard to be politically correct and trying to make the parties like us – as opposed to making them respect us. This happens to be an argument I have made several times, considering that it comes straight out of Machiavelli’s The Prince.
Overall, it was an excellent interview and was a total surprise hearing it on a show more famous for its Haunted Whore Ride than foreign policy analysis.
