    As tomorrow's anniversary approaches, I've been reflecting on what I personally got right and wrong in my own research over the last 20 years. It's humbling. Reposting my first piece after 9/11 from 9/22/2001 with humility: "To Fight a New 'ism'"

    Shocking thread from on our broken national security appointment system. We will not win the 21st-century competition with China performing like this. Time for radical change.

    20 years ago tomorrow, only 57% of key national security positions were in place in the Bush administration. The 9/11 commission cited this a critical barrier to the Bush team's preparedness for a catastrophic event such as 9/11, and recommended several steps to fix. 1/

    Thanks . (The facts matter). And I learned a lot from listening to you today. Your focus on morality -- and not only human rights or even democracy -- has me thinking!

    Where we live, your child must receive vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, mumps, measles, rubella, polio, Haemophilus influenza type (Hib), hepatitis B, and varicella in order to attend school. Don't remember any big fight over these.

    Agreed. And at the same time, he can flirt with them about joining the West against China (because of strategic class focus on China ) without any intention of ever doing so.

    What just gets so right in this piece is that Putin can antagonize DC’s strategic class who want to focus on China and Indo-Pacific and say Yoo-hoo, over here! As he causes blood pressure among Estonian allies to skyrocket

    700,000 dead is not just a statistic. Please get vaccinated. Please encourage others to get vaccinated, too.
