Moyers & Company Show 111: Moving beyond war: A new vision for America’s global role

This week, on an all-new Moyers & Company, Bill Moyers and Bacevich explore the futility of “endless” wars and provide a reality check on the rhetoric of American exceptionalism.

 “Are we so unimaginative, so wedded to the reliance on military means that we cannot conceive of any way to reconcile our differences with groups and nations in the Islamic world, and therefore bring this conflict to an end?” Bacevich tells Moyers. Bacevich also answers the question of whether Iran is a direct threat to America with a definitive no.

"Whatever threat Iran poses is very, very limited," he tells Moyers, "and certainly does not constitute any kind of justification for yet another experiment with preventive war."
