Last week I was at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco to hear Dr. Joshua Goldstein speak about his new book Winning the war on War: the Decline of Armed Conflict Worldwide. He autographed my copy of the book, which I have not read yet, but in his talk about the decline of armed conflict I did not get a sense that he recognized the different kinds of wars that are being waged. To me, it doesn't do any good that the NeoCons can scale down their wars to a level that is palpable to the American public. The point is that they are getting us into perpetual war, exactly according to Mussolini's playbook. Dr. Goldstein is also the co-author of a college-level textbook International Relations
