And that's why they picked him for Skull and Bones? Jr's fratboy brother? Interesting light on the criteria for tapping, I thought it was destined to rule, or at least run the CIA.

Nah, Stormie, what you said was sweet and to the point. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Paola, some Americans do care what the rest of the world thinks of us right now. Mostly ones who realize how we, the American people, are being used and manipulated to garnish the freedoms that have always been what our nation stands for. While the War is a Racket industry runs amok. With our taxdollars, I might add.

To be looked upon with disfavor for using 'might as right' is very troubling to me. It worked for Reagan and The Wall, but somehow the concept has become corrupted. The cabal the author speaks of will use any means necessary to maintain what they unfortunately believe to be a given right to rule. And anyone thinking they are benefiting from that rule will stick right by them and accuse the detractor of class war baiting.

Like this world's never seen that before...

That would be like stating that a Phi Beta Kappa key, or a MENSA card, is a sure sign that I will support the DNC...NOT HARDLY.

Just for the records: my name is Paolo (male), while Paola is feemale... :lol:
And what the word thinks of this war is undoubtfully the same: all govs that joined the coalition have lost in recent elections (the latter Japan)...
