QOD: “There is a tragic flaw in the United States Constitution. This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.” -Henry Kissinger (worked for Nixon,still a political force, has reached the status of "sage wise old man")
TPNS: Taliban says Bin Laden is alive & well. Many experts believe he is held-up in the super rugged border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan. I used this headline as a sagwea or introduction to the compelling frontline: The Hunt for Bin Laden. The award-winning documentary follows the main players [Bush, Rice, Blair, Powell, Rumsfeld, etc.]as they plot our country's response to 9/11/01. The film's focus is on the political negotitations and diplomacies leading up to our invasion of Afghanistan. There are also interesting and telling references by Paul Wolfowitz, assistant to Rumsfeld and the current head of the World Bank, to the reasoning behind the invasion of Iraq. I pointed out that the President essentially developed a war plan well before he consulted Congress. In an effort to discuss the film within the context of the Constitution. Frontline is the BEST SHOW on Television, the McLaughlin Group is #2....
In the other classes I went through a canned powerpoint presentation that is based on the content in Chapter 2. Chapter 2 is part history lesson, part techincal expose on the Constitution. You need to carefully read this chapter.
Sociology: Start reading through Chapter 3 "Culture" Think about the differences between our culture and the culture of the Middle East....remember sociological imagination or empathy... what a super interesting time to be alive!!!!
Tomorrow...take some time and relax....sleep in and think about the Constaaaatooooooooooshun, it rocks dudes!!!
