I first saw Doug Casey when he debated against the Iraq War and U.S. foreign policy. In this four-person debate, he and Ron Paul were opposed by two staunch supporters of the war. After the others had spoken, Doug stepped up and basically knocked the audience’s socks off.

Witness one section of the debate here, and try not to take offense if you feel inclined to at some point: (you can find the other parts of the debate on YouTube)

Doug Casey is one of those rare people that one can accurately describe as “worldly”, having traveled in 175 countries, and having actually lived in twelve countries. He has authored many articles and essays which are scattered across the internet. Thanks to his wide-ranging experience and deep knowledge of history, his perspective never fails to be interesting and often educational.

I was particularly taken aback when I stumbled upon one article from August 2, 2001 (one month before September 11th), where Doug essentially made a case that the U.S. would be facing a major crisis in the form of an overseas war, initiated by a terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

I leave you to digest that, and welcome any comments.
