I think I see the problem here. You desperately want to be labeled as an academic so when I say you are not one you get offended. The sad truth is these real academics will never accept you into their elitist club no matter how hard you try. To them you will always just be a truck driver with an education.
Sounds better than an academic and the fact that they are a professional in one area means they put their intellect to work and are people that do, not people that hypothesize. They have my vote as they are defined by you.
That's what we were promised, right? Ineffectual bumbling around the Middle East was done because the smart people were in charge. The world wasn't a mess of incompatible national interests, difficult trade-offs, no-win situations, and irreconcilable differences, but merely a rubix cube, waiting for the Smartest President Ever to come in and Be Wonderful Enough To Solve It. Remember?
So. How's that working out?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if a few went off course and landed in Texas, or maybe even near the governor's mansion in Arizona. One could have my name on it, or worse, "to whom it may concern".I don't call Lobbin' a few cruise missiles into Syria smart lofty or intellectual In my CONservative playbook its just plain DUMB
According to the poll, smart power has screwed us. Maybe we should consider converting smart power into a combustible fuel.
I am too, and the nice thing about smart power for fuel is that the ads are already written, virtually. I admit it's going to be hard to cram Krugman into a fuel tank, but what the heck, I'm willing to give it a try.We need to alert AP to your suggestion! He's interested in energy independence for this Country! :lamo:
