The man's not a total disgrace to academia, because he's done some very good work in his actual field. Unfortunately, outside of this field, he is the epitome of the arrogant, pretentious blowhard. |
well, his personality aside, I thought he made some very cogent points at the beginning. Notably, the difference between a pre-emptive war and a preventative war. He also correctly points out it is a change in the norms of "diplomacy".
He also correctly points out that we need to be concerned about the very important question: What next?
