America is the TITANIC -- it's leadership is complacent, arrogant, and inadequate -- and it is sailing into very dangerous times. MiddleEast.org (12/10/2004) - Example of unedited and unbroadcast MER Exclusive video as MERTV had to be discontinued earlier in 2004.
From the heart of the Washington Republican 'National Security' establishment, Harlan Ullman warns that the U.S. has sailed into very dangerous times and appears like the TITANIC headed for disaster. The U.S. is in greater danger than at any time since World War II Ullman insists, and his Washington credentials for doing so are substantial. At present Ullman is associated with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), where many others including Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski also hang their hats. The dangers Ullman warns are in many ways as much from within as from without. The TITANIC metaphor is a powerful one, and Ullman repeats it a number of times for emphasis. Ullman spoke at a downtown Washington think-tank on 9 Dec 2004. His talk and the Q and A period are about an hour.
