The grand chessboard Book

I rate 5 for must of his geostrategics analysis and predictions, although I completely disagree on some others. But is indeed interesting to read this book and think about his complicated and intricated explanations of how the main political "chess" players see each others.

I rate ZERO for his blind propaganda of what he calls "democratic world", or "pluralistic values", and the argument that US main goal is to spread it through out the world.

Brzezinski argues that in order to maintain global political stability, U.S. must remain an hegemonic super power, an the only one.

In fact, the very opposite is truth. For the U.S. (to continue) to dominate the world politically, and be the single hegemonic power, it must continue to do whatever it takes to achieve its goals, independently of the fact that most of US international maneuvers bring chaos and terror to democratic states (Chile 80's, Iran 50's, etc), provoke instability, incite nonexistent ethnic conflicts, not to mention the full scale wars/invasions based on faked intelligentsia (Afghanistan, Iraq, etc).

The ultimate US goal, obviously, is not to spread democratic values (as Brzezinski pretends to believe), is to dominate the world. What for? good question...
