Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden


With all the debate on hi end reviewers, I think it's pretty impressive to see Anthony Cordesman quoted, in the text below this video:

No offense but how could you possibly not be influenced by politics regarding political issues? US history, Roman 'Empire', Snowden. You haven't made a single non-political statement.

Mine was purely rhetorical.
if one ignores politics, one is not influenced by politics. it is possible to have no opinion about a subject.
To have no stand on politics is political by its very nature. No one sits idly by and observes. We all participate in one way or another. There is no neutral party or affiliation.

There's an old adage that goes something like: The greatest trick the devil ever did was to convince folk that he doesn't exist.

Taking it one step further, we've all been admonished that politics should never be discussed. What a coup to those who actively conspire against and rob us!

Politics is behind everything. It's at the very heart of our nation. We all either participate or simply give in with our heads in the sand. The Greeks had a word to describe those who refused to participate when their turn came up:
IDIOTA.

All the best,
