This past week I was reading a book entitled, OVERBLOWN: How Politicians and the Terrorism Industry Inflate National Security Threats, and Why We Believe Them, by John Mueller.

This is a fantastic book - fantastic insights, and great writing by a definitely to-be-read thinker. Excellent.

I'm constantly stressing WISDOM on the path of cultivation, and wisdom in understadning worldly affairs, and this individual definitely has wisdom. He holds th chair of National Security Studies at Ohio State University. Rather than tip you on his opinions, you can rerad the reviews at amazon.com or grab the book yourself. You don't have to agree with him on everything (I don't) but you must admire the way he writes, the points he makes, and the flat out pragmatic wisdom he pro-offers on this topic.
