[QUOTE="buggles4eva, post: 2953899, member: 151920"] Sorry, Devoken, "new wars" aren't new. History always recycles. Ok, what bothers me most about Sam Harris, well one of the things that bothers me greatly rather, is why is he being held up as some expert in historical trends and modern international politics. The man is a philosopher, which is all good and well. But philosophy isn't history or political science. Whenever I see someone from one field trying to make commentary on a field outside their perview, I tend to get leery on principal. There is an unfortunate truth that being an expert in one field makes you an idiot in many. [/QUOTE]
