Good Book

Recently I have started reading A Path Out of the Desert: A Grand Strategy for America in the Middle East by Kenneth Pollack. I really am enjoying this book. One thing I like is that the author lays everything out on the table. His introduction includes his own beliefs and biases which I really like when I read nonfiction books with an admitted agenda. For a long time, I, too, have felt that the politicians in the U.S. have been short-sighted. A good politician needs to see the long term effects that their policies have for the U.S. and the world.
