After Words: David Rieff interviewed by Wesley Clark

This week on After Words, journalist David Rieff explains the history of interventionism and how it has influenced U.S. foreign policy in his book, "At the Point of a Gun: Democratic Dreams and Armed Intervention." Mr. Rieff was a supporter of intervening militarily during both the Rwandan and Bosnian Genocide, until the war in Iraq changed his opinion. He now believes that intervention should only be used as a last resort. He is interviewed by Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) Former NATO Allied Supreme Commander, who led the of the military operation in Kosovo.


I'm so excited. I missed it yesterday :bounce:

This answers a lot about conditions on the ground in Kosovo. The author, David Rieff, is no pansy! He went in, not as an embed, without body armor, arms or radio. General Clark has the knowledge to ask intelligent questions to extract the right information from the author.

He seems to be talking more than Rieff.

Course, I think Rieff would probably make a better Interviewer than Interviewee... so natch.
