Filmed at TED in 2005, this video of how the future of US military force and foreign policy is down right amazing. His solution,

“Break it [the military] in two. He suggests the military re-form into two groups: a Leviathan force, a small group of young and fierce soldiers capable of swift and immediate victories; and an internationally supported network of System Administrators, an older, wiser, more diverse organization that actually has the diplomacy and power it takes to build and maintain peace.”

Sounds utterly brilliant to me. I only hope this will someday become a reality. Not only is this video interesting and thought provoking it also happens to be one of the most entertaining TED talks I have seen. It is very much so worth your time.
