With thanks to griffen, who linked me to an opinion article on Barack Obama, which in turn led me to this really interesting take on the military-industrial complex by President Eisenhower. Powerful stuff.

I still haven't figured out how to embed videos, so here's a link:

He was more brilliant than he was given credit for. They covered a lot of his military-industrial complex stuff in the movie Why We Fight. We really should have listened to him, but that would require that Bush listened to somebody. It's sad that he could see it coming yet it was ignored.

Oh, and doesn't his son look just like him?

Je crois que c'est tiré de «Why we fight», un documentaire excellent qui mérite d'être vu!
