  1. This is Peter Robinson at his best and all of us who benefit from the vast wisdom and knowledge of Professor Kotkin. This is where academia shines brightest when we can go to people like Professor Kotkin who have studied the subject of Russia and authoritarian regimes and democracies, and enlarge our views on the complex world we live in.

  2. What everyone is not understanding---and forgive me for commenting on a subject I have absolutely no experience in dealing with because I am an artist with zero geopolitical credentials---but in due respect to all of the guest speakers whom are experts in thier fields, the thing we are all missing that I believe would wind up and put an end to the war between Israel and Hamas is this: Gaza must be completely evacuated of every man, woman and child on the Palestinian side and relocated to safe havens across the middle east and beyond. Hamas is like a virus; it can only exist when it has a host. If you take away the Palestinian population, there will be only hours for it to survive. The Gaza strip has no viable means of sustainability for containing 2.6 million Palestinians and it will only fester and get infected by radicalism again if Palestinians are allowed to return to what former President Jimmy Carter called a concentration camp and an open prison. Sometimes, boys and girls, rules have to be broken, one has to be cruel to be kind, one has to be one's own best friend when there are no friends to be had, one must create a solution that will show future generations how to end wars and that is by creating nature reserves in places where humans have only found armed conflict as a way to resolve their problems. No one wants to accept Palestinians, fine, but enough is enough and the time has come for action. Gaza is not a home for a proud people to live in dignity and the whole world knows it. Gaza can be transformed into a Galapagos of the middle east, a nature reserve for endangered species that we can offer our children's children. This is doable and it would end the war in minutes if not hours if not in a very, dignified short period of time and put the Hamas terror organization out of business.

  3. Dear Mr Robinson and Mr Murray, Thank you Mr Robinson for one of the best interviews I have viewed and listened to by you. I'm writing at the end of The Madness of Crowds section. Thank you Mr Murray for claifying your ideas. I came away with a better understanding of what you are trying to say.
