'Politics...takes both passion and perspective. Certainly all historical experience confirms the truth - that man would not have attained the possible unless time and again he had reached out for the impossible'

Max Weber's an interesting fellow. Read much of him/about him?

He is indeed a very interesting fellow - though sadly I have not read anything like as much about him as I should have done. I take it you have read the Kieran Allan book?
