How I Couldn't Learn to Love the Brzezinski
Here's a recently published review in the Asian Age on the wonderful world of Dr Zbigniew Brzezinski. He is of course famous for having founded the Trilateral Commission, which is a nice little shadowy group of people who like to meet behind closed doors. He later also became famous for his clever little ploy of engineering the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which caused us Indians a whole lot of death in the 1980s and 1990s. Oh well, I guess we were just unfortunately in the man's way, and took some 'collateral damage'. Personally, I think the most uncanny thing about Dr Brzezinski is his resemblance to Dr Strangelove.

Pretty intrestin and funny:-)!!!
Good post san,
Folks like Zbig are all gung-ho about how Bush has screwed the Yanks over without realizing their own rather violent record. They may have beaten the Soviets, but it's not as if these guys did not goof up - The Jehadi genie they let out of the bag to fight the Soviets is now back to haunt them.
Also in Iran for instance - they were for the Shah, before they were against him - to borrow a Kerry phrase.
It's interesting that Zbig does not rant about the repressive Chinese Communists as he did about the Soviets. Either too scared to take on the inscrutable Hans - or beloved Poland is not at risk, so why bother.
I am with him on India not figuring in Central Asia (what Zbig calls the Grand Chessboard) - we are happy to reduce ourselves to Chinese or American vassals!
USA produces lots of Dr Zbigniew Brzezinski who help keeping the balance of power pepetually in the favour of their own country. I don't see anything wrong with that. Eventually, most decisions and actions can be reinterpreted, and that is what is happening now. Then seen in a different time frame, earlier success now seems more like a problem.
My worry is that in whole history of indiependent india, I am yet to hear of someone as good for India as this professor was for US.
