The American People are sick of "endless war" but the main presidential candidates of both political parties offer no relief, and some are threatening new wars. Why aren't the antiwar sentiments of ordinary people reflected in the political process?
Dr. Jeff Taylor spoke at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston on November 29, 2007. He addressed such topics as the conflict between isolationism and imperialism, the lack of difference between the two major parties on foreign policy, and the "Jeffersonian" tendencies of the American people vs. the "Hamiltonian" outlook of the foreign policy elite. The talk also included analysis of recent political developments such as the failure of the Democratic-controlled Congress to oppose the Iraq war and the growing interest in the Ron Paul presidential candidacy.
