Mainichi Daily News Interview Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski
Chiyako Sato, a correspondent in Mainichi Daily News of Japan's Washington Bureau, recently Interviewed Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981 about President George W. Bush's January 20, 2005, State of the Union address and it's implications. Asked if the influence of the Neocons would decline during Mr. Bush's second term, Mr. Brzezinski said:
You want everything kind of black and white and the world doesn't work that way. You know, he will go up, this will go down and when -- that will be your next question. But at least, there is now a group of people who have a different way of looking at the world, more pragmatic, tough minded, but able to recognize nuances and complexities and with experience in dealing with our allies. If we have no difficulties in foreign policy of course policy won't change if it's continuously successful. You know if Iraq is a wonderful success, if having a bigger war with Iran is going to be a great success, which I think is doubtful, then of course we will continue but if it becomes to be more difficult that new team will begin to influence events.Here is a link to the interview.
