All these are available in English. Books - anything by Kissinger, the arch-politician who said that "Countries don't have friends, they have interests." He is thoroughly dishonest and very devious, but is worth a read. Another VITAL book is THE RISE AND FALL OF THE GREAT POWERS by Paul Kennedy. Yet another great book is THE DECLINE OF THE WEST by Oswald Spengler (original in German - Die Untergang des Abendlandes). Another good book is THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH by William Shirer. Yet another comes to mind - INSIDE THE THIRD REICH By Albert Speer. I also recommend anything by Richard Nixon except his memoirs which of course are self-serving. But he was a shrewd politician in international affairs and wrote intelligently and effectively on such matters. All of these books deal with the causes and/or effects of war. Good luck!

I try to let people know that, for at least a long while the most well known man in the world, Muhammad Ali, did that same thing when he refused to slaughter-in-Vietnam, not only giving up his title.

When it came time for him to leave his office, he reneged. He still gets re-elected because he is good at "fighting for North Dakota" which translates to $1.92 per capita back from Washington, D.C. for every $1.00 per capita sent by tax. Ron Paul has a better idea than term limits. Get back on the gold standard, when government runs out of gold they'll be forced to make the unpopular choices thereby getting voted out of office if they screw up. Jefferson, Madison, et. al. were smart guys. We should obey the laws they wrote. Kent Conrad, D-ND, ran for U.S. Senate promising to term limit himself.

He was sure it was authentic because he recognizes the voice? I can't believe he is not versed on the current voice duplication technology! ps. PNAC must be exposed to the American masses and tried for conspiracy to defraud Congress! I was suprised about Mikes comments about the authenticity of the Bin Laden video.
