Dennis Kucinich: 'Interventionism Is Not The Wave Of The Future'...

[paulitician]

I know my Neocon Republican friends are gonna blow a gasket over me posting a Dennis Kucinich video. And hey, a few years ago i would have felt the same way. But he makes a lot of sense on various issues. He certainly does on this one. More Democrats and Republicans need to listen to him.


Former US Rep. Dennis Kucinich, an RPI Board Member, is interviewed on Democracy Now from the Almedalen political festival in Sweden. Mr. Kucinich, who opposed the 2003 Iraq war along with Ron Paul, draws some excellent conclusions as the promised outbreak of democracy has turned to disaster.
