Too bad Obama didn't select you for Secretary of State!
Fascinating reading and the way you describe the interview in your post is exactly right. I am pleased to see you being interviewed so much recently as you're giving a view that is not often presented. HH was really trying to get you to equate Hamas with Hitler and you answered him perfectly, always stressing that first trying diplomacy is almost always the best choice. One, and there are many, good quote is below:
HH: To use force, to use military force, to bomb the hell out of him [Hitler] would have been appropriate after the anschluss?
GG: Not without efforts to avert that situation. And had those efforts failed, and those efforts truly exhausted, then it may have been, sure. Would it have been justifiable after only Austria and not before Czechoslovakia or Poland? You know, that’s hard to say. But certainly once a country starts indicating that they are a threat to their neighbors and to world security, and have the ability to carry that out, then force becomes something that is a lot more justifiable.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
