Titles are sometimes misleading - because european culture is just as important to America as America is to Europe. There is much to be said about our american democracy topics and how they are viewed by other countries. Primarily concerning the War on Iraq and our american agreement or disagreement with it.
Tony Judt has a 'special looking glass' - like a hawk eye, that describes with brutal truth, how we go wrong so easily. Yet spiked with humor, as well as excellent lectures on international relationships * [a reference point to understand Barack Obama's willingness to dialogue with foreign leaders, including Iran]
It is not everyones cup-of-tea to listen to Tony Judt - but in my opinion should be a requirement for anyone that attempts to VOTE for a new president of our country. Although I may be accused of 'elitism' by posting this article here - I don't care. If you just sit still for a moment and get your mind away from popcorn and beer for a while - a whole other world opens in your mind. It fit's the lumberjack shirt as well as the office suit. But definitely is well fitting to our task at hand: to make sure that Barack Obama is our next president.
