In The Longer Run, I Happen To

Today We Are In A Situation In Which The Free Movement Of People Can Have Enormous, Monumental Dimensions, And I Don't Think That Any Country In Western Europe Or In America Can Any Longer Adopt The Idea Of Totally Free Movement Of People. I T Would Simply Overwhelm Their Social Facilities, Their Societies And Create Migratory Dynamics On The Scales Of Tens And Tens Of Millions Of People. That Simply Is Not Practical.

According To The Official Version Of History, Cia Aid To The Mujahideen Began During 1980, That Is To Say, After The Soviet Army Invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But The Reality, Secretly Guarded Until Now, Is Completely Otherwise. Indeed, It Was July 3, 1979 That President Carter Signed The First Directive For Secret Aid To The Opponents Of The Pro-soviet Regime In Kabul. And That Very Day, I Wrote A Note To The President In Which I Explained To Him That In My Opinion This Aid Was Going To Induce A Soviet Military Intervention.

Foreign Policy Should Not Be Justified Through Making Oneself Feel Good, But Through Results That Have Tangible Consequences.

Global Stability - Economic As Well As Political - Is At Risk.

We Shouldn't Overdramatize The Current Disagreements With The Russians. They Are Real, But They're Not Really All That Threatening. And The Notion That We're Moving Back To Some Cold War I Think Is Really An Exaggerated Judgment.
