Anatomy of a 'Meltdown' -- Interview With Thomas Woods
By Bill Steigerwald

Thomas E. Woods Jr. is a successful historian who doesn’t hide his libertarian views about American history, politics and economics but instead emphasizes them. Among his nine books are “The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History,” a 2004 New York Times best-seller, and last year’s “33 Questions About American History You Aren’t Supposed to Ask.”

Woods is a senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Ala., which describes itself as “the world center of the Austrian School of economics.”

I recently was told about a HBO movie titled Taking Chance starring Kevin Bacon. I saw the making of Taking Chance and was intrigued about the story line. Unbeknowedst to me, every soldier that is killed on foreign land is brought back to the United States by an "escort". The escort ensures that the soldier's remains are respectfully brought back safely to the states for a proper burial by the family.

The political machine at work, preparing for a momentous occasion.
