re: #95 Olsonist

I’m a realist to the core. I think you’re confusing realism with corporatism.

No, I don’t think I am. The “realist” crowd has people like Baker, Brzezinski, and Kissinger as their role models. I may be understanding of their reasoning, just like DF opined earlier, but it doesn’t make their actions much better than their soviet counter-parts. Turning a blind eye to abuse is just as morally vacant as being the abuser.
