“A nation turns it’s lonely eyes
to you.” (lyrics from Simon and Garfunkel, 1967).
Where has ThinkingEnemy been?
Ten months ago I suspended
writing and publishing my blog, ThinkingEnemy. I had originally intended the blog
as a simple series of responses from a strategic perspective to publications by
others on issues of national significance. I quickly let the blog grow to the
point that I was trying to produce several thousand words of high quality
original strategic analysis each week. That’s a fine goal if it is part of your
work, or if you do not have more pressing duties.
But in September of 2013 I began
teaching several new graduate courses in homeland security and risk management,
while trying to make headway on more than one book project. Meanwhile, the Federal government accelerated the
rate at which it was screwing up our strategic interests at home and abroad. As
a commentator on strategic issues, I just couldn’t keep up. I had to prioritize. And top priority went to my students.
Well I am caught up with requirements,
so I am bringing ThinkingEnemy back on line. I will return to my
original intent with the blog – primarily strategic commentary on other writers,
with a few original pieces as I have time. Hope you find the results
interesting and worthwhile.
