Anyone read Wesley Clark's new book?
"Winning Modern War"

I heards it's a new release and he speaks speicifically against the creation of a new American Empire under the Bush administration.

3. Does he offer solutions to the problem he claims exists?
I love reading books where I can relate with the author who does nothing but gripe about the state of affairs. I love getting riled up. But they say little as to what I can do to help. Even Michael Moore in his "Dude" book tells everybody that they're not going to become millionaires (even though people who bought the book are helping HIM become a millionaire...)

Obviously nobody is doing jack splat about squat, except making money about what they think is wrong (which then makes me question their ideals and goals, apart from making a profit).

We need action, not another book whining about what's wrong with society.

What does he offer "We, The People" to do to fight against what he thinks is evil?

Tell me one page number and I'll even go out to read and possibly buy the book.

4. Warning ....
Clark's book is a pretty heavy read ... Trying to get through it now, I have to stop and look sh** up all the time. (Yeah, it's good for me, I know)

I can't wait to start. I hear page 202 has something about the Canadian think tank.
