I did a segment with Jerome MacDonald for Worldview at WBEZ. Please to listen and enjoy. And comment, etc.

I really liked this -- no mean achievement in my view to be able to convey a sense of complexity and nuance in under 20 minutes. Also appreciated your reference to what (then-Senator) Obama had said about acting unilaterally in Pakistan -- i.e. the fact that in this area, the Administration has done everything Obama had said it would. My favorite among MacDonald's questions was the one (with roughly 7:30 to go) about memory; led to a great answer about the role of memory in the historian's discipline...

PS -- but the broadcast is cut off right as MacDonald is asking a question; do you have a link to the complete segment?
