I began my career as a military operations analyst and geo-politics remains a passion of mine. I find myself interested in studying the era of "Humanitarian Wars of Intervention" beginning with Cambodia in the 1970's and how these actions, in concert with the power vacuums of the Post Colonial and Post Cold War, became the precursors to a conflict over the "Deconstruction of Western Influence" presently being waged worldwide. The deliberate use of social fissures by warlords to dismantle governments and reduce societies to chaos continues to intrigue me as does the inevitable ascendance of the United States to its reluctant role as leader against this struggle.

Warlords Refine Their Challenge Against US Global Strategy
It is a mistake for anyone to believe that the brain trust of our enemies is anything less than brilliant even if many of their field operations are at times ungaingly. Since September 2001, they've cut worldwide air travel in half. They have amazingly managed to cleave political alliances that have been the cornerstones of global stability for over half a century. In the last decade, they have brought destruction to vast regions of the third world. They are now expert at instilling fear using killing techniques ranging from assassination to genocide to prevent those who might cooperate with us from doing so. And they have done most of this while successfully hiding beneath a cloak of cultural-religous invisibility that the general population of their largest enemy, the United States of America, cannot see through to this day.
