Every so often, I find time to write for other
publications. I am not sure how I
actually do this given my day job, periodic need for food, sleep requirements,
and other constraints. (Perhaps like
Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog from the cartoons of my youth, I have learned to eat
while I sleep and sleep while I eat. Certainly, I have been working in that direction my entire life.)
In any event, when those wonderful folks over at The
National Interest asked if I would write a few words about the current state of
the Obama national security team and what we might glean from it, I could
hardly resist. (Perhaps there is a
vaccine that will help build up resistance in this respect. I suspect that my wife is currently working
with the National Institutes of Health to develop one.) The result is an article in the current issue
called "A Thousand Envoys Bloom."
I commend it to you...because if I don't, who will? And they actually do make an effort to run a
thought-provoking journal over there at The National Interest which is no small
feat given just what is entailed by successfully provoking thoughts here in
Washington. (To be honest, I am not even
in Washington as I write this. I am in
Boston to give a speech. Here they are
concerned with the fact that their newspaper, the Globe, is hanging by a
thread having missed a negotiating deadline last night. Oddly, the Federal government does not seem
as concerned with stepping in to save journalism as they are automobile
production. Go figure.)
