One of our co-bloggers, Jacques Delacroix, has suggested that I pass the following argument along. It has been written by the founder and president of the Independent Institute, a highly respected think tank in Oakland, California. From Delacroix’s blog:
Below is the link to the second part of an article by David Theroux I posted a couple of weeks ago. David Theroux is the founder of the Independent Institute and its current president. I have major differences with the Institute about American foreign policy but Theroux is well worth reading anyway.
The second link below is to the whole article with footnotes.

I remember browsing through Part 1 of Mr. Theroux’s essay (thanks to Delacroix’s heads-up), but I will have to read them both when school lets up. If you have any thoughts on the argument, feel free to post away in the ‘comments’ section!
