 I don't watch, I read. Currently; about The Cuban Missile Crisis, The 6 Days War and have just started on The Prince by Machiaveli.

 well there's the whole "dirty hands" argument and discussion + the teleological and deontological discussion of it also

just had a public ethics and corruption class last semester, so had to read through a bunch of pieces and articles on that topic
