800 Words: From My Failed Career as an International Affairs Analyst

Posted on 9:53 AM by Unknown
9/11 is as good a time as any to remember what the world lost when it lost me as an international affairs commentator. Here, in text, is the 65 pager I wrote for Johns Hopkins University in 2007 which attempted to solve all America's problems of the Bush years. I have no idea how to upload a paper to a blog, nor do I know how to upload a word document. So in terms of actually following page breaks and where footnotes are included, you're on your own. But here, for your perusal, is my attempt to sum up the entire world in a single document. Take it as you will.

(see the next post, where it was posted in far better formatting)
