Hey, America is a messianic, militaristic nation. The 2004 Democratic Convention showed me that it would take more than Bush the Lesser to change that.

Those whom the Gods wish to destroy They first make mad. -- Euripides

AS George H Bush found out in Dubai, even those who are considered to be "beneficiaries" of the system understand that policy is enacted to benefit american corporates, which are beholden to none in their rapacious greed.

The result is that all activities are sold to the american public as being pro-democratic, and with the US msm in its current state how could anyone know differently, whilst every time the affected country suffers. It was Truman who said of the original Samoza in Nicaragua, "he may be a bastard, but he's ourt bastard". This cynicism suggests that US policy is to let their bastards do what they want domestically, so long as the corporates get to come in and pick the bones clean.

And btw I consider myself a true friend of America, one prepared to be honest and criticise.
