@ChMadar Re Hagel on Iran. Are you surprise? Supporting war w/ Iran a prerequisite for high ofc in US foreign policy.
@FabiusMaximus01 Surprised, no; disappointed, sí. 4 years ago Hagel was saying gutsy, intelligent things about diplomacy w/ Iran, Hamas. :'(

@ChMadar US nat'l security leadership today is a "check your views at the door" opportunity. Allegiance to rigid dogma; no dissent allowed.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ChMadar Note that accounts so far of Bush and Obama Admins reveal nothing like the fierce battles in Kennedy & LBJ Admins about Vietnam.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ChMadar Difficult to believe, but the WOT's dogma m/b less open (more stifling) than that of the Cold War. Or perhaps America changed. -
@FabiusMaximus01 That's good perspective. Did quasi-bipolar world order open debates at home more than it closed them? Arguable. -
@ChMadar My guess is this driven by changes is us, not the world. US policy debates tdy are grunting. Unlike Kennan or Lincoln-D debates.
