#1 That guy has always been an arrogant internationalist. He believes the very worst arguments from the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, and any other assortment of billionaires who think that having money confers on them intellectual brilliance and the elite status to rule over others as unelected hereditary lords.

Whereas the sad reality is that most of them are the intellectual peers of Paris Hilton and are dependent on others to even maintain their basic hygiene.

They tend to cluster together to scheme, because no one else seriously considers such people as anything other than "rich and useless".

#2 Wasn't it Brzezinski's idea to abandon the Shah and allow the Ayatollahs to take over in the first place? Isn't that the same strategy he offered to Carter for Nicaragua as well? Isn't he the guy that argued we do NOTHING in response to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan? The last person on Earth I am going to listen to in defense matters is anyone from the Carter Administration.

That administration is the REASON all of this is going on. If we had not abandoned the Shah and instead pushed for a more gradual democratization, there would have been no Iran/Iraq war, no Russian invasion of Afghanistan, no al Qaeda, no Hezbollah in Lebanon ... we can pretty much lay all of our problems and the problem if Islamist militancy right in the lap of Jimmy Carter and his little buddy Zbiggy.

Why is this guy even in the news? Who cares what he thinks?

#3 Two weeks after the landing at Normandy this asshole would have had us leaving France after "really consulting" Germany & Italy about the security of the country.

People like this are despicable at best.

#7 "Why is this guy even in the news?"

Because the news is on his side.

"Who cares what he thinks?"

Liberals. Dimwitted, drooling, flatheaded liberals...

#8 Well, Earthnews took it from the Christian Science Monitor so I wouldn't exactly say the guy's "in the news". Kinda like saying Ramsey Clark's "in the law"...

#9 Interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski
Le Nouvel Observateur, Paris, 15-21 January 1998

Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalism, having given arms and advice to future terrorists?

B: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.

B: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.

#12 John Frum quoting Zibg:
" [sic Islam]....It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries. "

curious side bar,

How is it that Libs use the 'Lib Constant' that Islam makes up the largest religion @ 1.5 billion [World Wide], when I read from several sources that Catholics alone have over 1 billion adherents.

Are Libs entitled to their own facts as well as their own opinions?

#19 I suppose it is all sour grapes since the American people presented him with our departure plan for him and his pals back in 1980.

Jimmy Carter carried exactly 4 states. In that election to Ronald Reagan's 46 states. I think that was a pretty clear "departure plan" and the only one Zbiggy needs to concern himself with.
