I have read some of Richard J. Maybury’s Uncle Eric books and find his discussion of world history quite illuminating. Consider having him on to talk a bit about WW1 (and it’s predecessors and successors.
Thoroughly enjoying the series.
Tom, I think we really ought to have a discussion on Israel. Countless libertarians harbour undue antagonism toward her defending herself against Hamas–like they should stand there and be receptive to rockets.
Of course, the question of occupation is important, but self defence is basically a human right, despite the ferocity of her defence being convoluted by American backing and far outweighing the Palestinian power.
Also, Russell Brand could be a potential guest. A leftist; he’s perfectly at home with libertarians on the topic of war.

The lack of sympathy for Israel is similar to the lack of sympathy for the US.
Israel provoked the attacks it is defending itself from.
You think? An occupation provides an obvious and significantly legitimate explanation for any offensive action by the occupied group, in the name of self-defense and private property.
