  I love that magazine. It's hard to get such a global perspective from any other periodical.

    It's very good for getting an easily digestible survey of world news, but the business and economic analysis articles are horrible. It's all so "pop" and way behind the curve if you read better newsletters. It's also annoyingly leftist and pro-war; they pushed hard for the Iraq invasion, for example.

      "annoyingly leftist and pro war" - that's not a combination you hear every day.

        It's not odd if you don't conflate the meaning of left and right with Democrat and Republican. The Bush administration has been solidly left.

          Bush is No True Scotsman, apparently.
          • kingkongrevenge 18y ago
            I'm not sure what you're getting at. Bush is a national socialist, and an imperialist. He fooled some conservatives in 2000 when he talked quite a bit of the talk, but that fell apart quickly. In modern American history warmongering has overwhelmingly been the business of the left. Guns and butter and all that. Go count up military actions and pair them to presidents.

              Bush is a national socialist That's an interesting choice of words.

                Maybe he's trying to qualify for Godwin's law.

        There have been many wars by left-wing governments in world history, even in recent world history. Wasn't Johnson the one that escalated the war in Vietnam?
