That's what comes out in some of the books that that uh have been written since. voice-verified

And diplomacy is what the Israelis have been unable to do. voice-verified

So America sort of s after nine eleven over-militarized its foreign policy. voice-verified

Yes, we've had voice-verified

Some successes diplomatically. voice-verified

I don't want to criticize, you know, one is frankly with the Iranian nuclear agreement. voice-verified

In the old days, in the post-World War II period, you know, it was the Secretary of State and his advisors who really were the leaders of American foreign policy, and the generals generally voice-verified

and the civilians who ran the Pentagon generally were supporting those efforts as opposed to the other way around. voice-verified

And I think what we what you've seen now is that in Israel the same thing has happened. voice-verified

Israel has had great success militarily in many cases vis vis Lebanon, vis vis Iran, vis a vis vis the Hamas. voice-verified

That they've had militarily, and now they've gone so far to militarize their society that their own people are ashamed of what uh Israelis are doing in their name to Palestinians in the West Bank. voice-verified

That's the the generals and the intelligence officials and the senior officials who've been actually f forcing their colleagues to go see and watch what's happening in the West Bank. voice-verified

And so I think it's this tilt that Mark is. voice-verified

Margaret McMillan talked about of uh over militarization. voice-verified

Um but I I should point out a couple of things. voice-verified

Uh I don't think nine eleven is why Vladimir Putin invaded uh Ukraine. voice-verified

The word is a very, very complicated place. voice-verified
