This book documents the most barbaric global plan of the United States to prevent any other nation from reaching competitive status even if it means the use of force. It outlines the manner in which we are to lead the world by our intervention into the affairs of every nation to protect whatever our "leaders" deem to be our national interest. There are at least four unavoidable, observations to any reader of Khalilzad's book that raise suspicion and point to motive, or at least the answer to prayer by the Bush regime:
1. Everything being implemented as a result of 9/11 "terror" was called for in 1995 by Khalilzad.
2. Khalilzad's hard, cold and brutal perception of the forces that drive other nations to seize opportunity and threaten the U.S. supremacy suddenly goes naive and silly with regard for how the Bush regime should install his new Post Cold War "Grand Strategy."
3. The obvious panic and insistence upon the notion that the U.S. must institute this new "Grand Strategy" or it will be lost forever and we will be doomed to losing superiority and leadership of the world.
4. It is obvious that Bush will use the military without constitutional authority to attack nations that have a defense system and wealth as if nations had no rights to such things.
5. One is lead to the obvious conclusion that Osama bin Laden had a keen ability to mesh with the plans of the Bush regime or he was at least an answer to prayer to implement an otherwise hard sell to the American people.
"A Global rival could emerge if a hostile power or coalition gained hegemony over a critical region. Therefore, it is a vital U.S. interest to preclude such a development--i.e., to be willing to use force if necessary for the purpose. A region can be defined as critical if it contains sufficient economic, technical, and human resources so that a hostile power that gained control over it could pose a global challenge. Two regions now meet this criterion: East Asia and Europe. The Persian Gulf is very important for a different reason--its oil resources are vital for the world economy."(25)
And:
"Military strength should be measured not just in terms of the strength of other countries, but in terms of the U.S. ability to carry out the strategy outlined here. The danger that military capability could be cut to below this level is real: historically, the United States has made this error on several occasions by excessive downsizing. It faces the same danger again for the longer term. Already there is a serious question as to whether the United States will indeed have the necessary force structure to fight and win two major regional wars (Korea and the Persian Gulf) nearly simultaneously - the core requirement of current military strategy." (31)
It is most obvious that these global designs of world domination and intervention could not be implemented upon the floor of the U.S. Congress without an "architectural framework" like the WTC. The only thing that could install these plans, now underway, is through an act similar or identical to those we suffered on September 11, 2001. Thanks again must go to Osama bin Laden for his brilliant timing and coordination with the "BUSH GRAND STRATEGY."

Where is the review I wrote and submitted for this book more than 2 weeks ago?

Although Greenstein's book is somewhat ancient, it remains the most exhilarating exploration of black holes, quasars, pulsars and other phenomena I've ever read. If you want an easily digestible introduction to some of the most fascinating aspects of our universe, you cannot do better than to read Frozen Star.

This book truly explains many physical concepts of the mysteries of our universe. It goes in depth explaining in detail pulsars, black holes, and starts, but brings these concepts to an understandable level. The examples presented give a full conceptual understanding of our universe. One can picture what is happening in a black hole through labeled drawings rather than complicated mathematical formulas. This book did a great job of explaining all the aspects of space-time geometery for which I was looking.

I had to make a quick decision.....I had some emergency repairs I was trying to get to. I am not a professional.I wanted a "dictionary" of suggestions.....this book did exactly what the title promised. there are a lot of clever tips here....stuff you would never think of, let alone hear about. "Three thumbs up."

This book is an excellent reference manual for home furniture repairs. The alphabetical listings make it very simple to look up tips without having to do extensive research. The repairs can all be done with things found in your house, making them inexpensive and easy to complete. I can't think of a better reference guide for repairing your own furniture.

Ferrari's Gay Travel A to Z is an excellent guide to gay businesses, services, and community resources worldwide. The book is quite thorough in its coverage of gay commercial establishements in big cities and smaller towns alike, and it is very useful for locating gay and gay-friendly tour operators. Arranging a trip through a tour operator can make international travel a lot less confusing (and many operators can offer advice on clothing-optional travel opportunities). A to Z is also the best available resource for information about special-interest travel services, which run the gamut from all-gay mountain climbing trips to religious and spiritual events to leather conventions. Additionally, A to Z includes a calender of gay festivals, parties, and other events across the globe. This is one of the most comprehensive worldwide gay travel guides available, and it's an exceptional value.

I always like Ferrari's articles within their book, and have been a happy contributor of them. They add a lot of depth and scope to the areas covered.

Fantastic! Features 26 girls acting out what they hope to become when they grow up-from Aliki the astronaut to Zoe the zookeeper. Multicultural. Ryhming minimal text on each page, fun illustrations. I also love the conclusion page urging girls to dream big! Very inspiring. Age 1.0+

"Glass A to Z" is an excellent encyclopedia of information about glass, manufacturing processes, and manufacturers. It's alphabetical listing of topics makes it very to easy use to locate information quickly. Topics are cross-referenced as well. Topic headings are in bold print and paragraphs about the topics range in length. A handy section at the back of the text includes a section with manufacturer's marks as well. Whether you are a novice collector or a glassware buff, this is a great book to have in your library. Although the book was published in 2002, the information is timeless. Mine is well-worn from extensive use.

If you want a basic, comprehensive reference manual on art glass, this is the book for you. It contains an exhaustive, alphabetic listing of every popular art glass term, technique, and manufacturer. Each listing contains detail limited to a single sentence to several paragraphs, according to the depth of the topic. Like most encyclopedias, it won't make you an expert on any one topic, but it will give you most of the basic information you will likely ever need if you want to collect or deal in art glass. Not many photos, but a lot of information.

I've never played baseball but the game fascinates me and I read everything I can get my hands on.

WOW! This book was a great surprise. It is one of the most informative baseball books I've ever read. So many people from the game talk about this career from different perspectives. Since reading it, I look at players differently, with a kind of appreciation of what they go through.

It's an easy read and lots of fun. I felt like I was talking with such baseball giants as Frank Robinson, Andre Dawson, Bob Feller, Mark Grace, Robin Ventura and, well, that list of names is long and reads like a who's who of baseball.

It's one of those rare books where you read along, have a great time, then realize you're learning a lot at the same time. It definitely lives up to its name and kids who want to go pro really should have it as a reference.

My copy was a gift. Now all my friends are getting one for Christmas.

FIVE STARS for sure!

There's a lot of books out there ABOUT baseball and its players. Go Pro BASEBALL WISE is a baseball book BY its players.

This book doesn't focus on baseball's greatest moments, the endless comparison of stats, or the controversy of sod over turf. In fact, there's no mention of any game in particular.

What is in this book is baseball discussing baseball as a career. Author PJ Dragseth made a tremendous effort to interview a wide variety of baseball people across the country, from Hall of Fame players to rookies. He talked to some of the greatest players in the game. As a result, his book not only entertains, but could accurately be called a "baseball career handbook" for those who love baseball as well as for those who want to play the game professionally.

This book is a great accomplishment and Dragseth is to be commended for his effort. I recommend it highly and give it five stars.
