We Americans are fortunate to have as the Commander of the US Southern Command, Admiral Jim Stavridis. Jim's been a friend for fifteen years now, and he is doing an amazing job fostering cooperative relationships with our friends to the South, even as he ensures folks like Chavez are aware of just how closely they are being watched.
He's started a blog on his command website, and I commend it to you. This is no average guy...he's got a PhD in Pol/Mil Affairs from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, and unlike any other officer of his rank I know, he seems to have no enemies.

I concur. I have not met a single person, either in or out of the Navy, in the more than 30 years that I've known him who has ever had a bad word to say about this man (or his wife)...except perhaps that they absolutely hate that such an incredibly accomplished, intelligent and talented man and Naval Officer is also one of the most genuinely nice people they've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Pretty damning testimony, huh?
