by Michael Ledeen
by Michael Ledeen Michael Ledeen takes a fresh look at Tocqueville’s insights into our national psyche and asks whether Americans’ national character, which Tocqueville believed to be wholly admirable, has fallen into moral decay and religious indifference. by Michael Ledeen American Enterprise Institute resident scholar Ledeen offers an updated version of the rules for leadership laid down by Machiavelli. Its the nature of humans to do evil, and war is our natural state. Anyone who would wield power in such a setting, writes Ledeen, echoing Machiavelli, “must be prepared to fight at all times.” This is as true in business, sports, and politics as it is on the battlefield.
by Michael Ledeen With the skill of a born storyteller, Michael Ledeen weaves together key moments in the fall of communism. His insider’s knowledge of the interplay of complex personalities and Byzantine strategies makes a compelling narrative, one enlivened by his wry wit and flair for the dramatic. In this call to embrace the worldwide democratic revolution, the author argues that global democracy should be the centerpiece of U.S. strategy. |

He's probably financed by Iran...he will receive an award of 72 virgins and his family a sum of money.
And his "equipment" is assembled from Iranian parts no doubt... it probably says "Made in I.R. of Iran" right there on it.
