Mike Gravel, who ran to be the Libertarian nominee for president this year, was recently interviewed on Al Jazeera English. He talked about various subjects, including his presidential campaign, his book A Political Odyssey, Sarah Palin, the United States’ role as a world police, and, most notably, how the two major parties rig the system to work in their favor and against other candidates. The interviews can be seen below:

I asked Gravel about his views on current events in my interview with him yesterday.

I’vea laways thought Gravel’s policies, overall, are fairly dubious; but it’s great he had an international forum to explain the rigged electoral system in the US. I suspect the Arab viewers of this interview were nodding their heads in recognition; in too many Arab nations they know all too well what a restricted/rigged ballot is.
