No one said that the members of the 'cabal of crap' were stupid. They are all, save their illiterate leader, very smart; misguided, egocentric, greedy, scheming, morally corrupt, but smart.

The same, "What is best for America is best for the world", attitude that got us into Iraq is what caused the US if not to install at least to keep in power about 90% of all the dictators in the world in the last 100 years. The list of US puppet nations around the world reads like the index of the National Geographic atlas. Iran, Iraq, Viet Nam, Korea, Nicaragua, Panama, Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, the Philippines, Afghanistan, stop me when we get to the zees.

The problem is that when the puppets turn on their master, as they did in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Panama, and Viet Nam, we feel obligated to remove them. Then cometh the war. The US government has yet to figure out that about 95% of the people of this world do not think like Americans do. Then when we go into their country and try to spread the word of democracy they bow up and now we are in the middle of a cdivil war. When will we ever learn.

All the above might be an interesting study in international relations if it were not for the fact that in the end the American people are going to have to pay for all these blunders.
