Bashing the US government has been the "in thing" for many years, it started right after the 2nd World War after they took all the credit for winning it, although it took them two years to become involved and only after Pearl Harbour. They call themselves the worlds only superpower but most countries see them as the bullies of the world{not the people, the Government}. They went into Iraq for oil, expecting that there would be little resistance, they knew that there were no weapons of mass detruction because they themselves were the ones who armed Iraq in the first place so they would be able to stop the Soviet invasion. They helped Sadaam Hussein become leader. It backfired though and they found themselves in a quagmire{no offence Bob} similar to Viet Nam, only worse. George Bush and Dick {Haliburton} Cheney tried to act like John Wayne and were certainly Machiavellianists during there watch, but Bush was in the "Champagne Division" of the National Guard when he showed up at all and Cheney had something like 5 deferments, they didn,t fight, but had no conscience about sending other peoples children into battle for 4-5 tours. Now President Obama is sending troops to where they should have stayed from the beginning{if they went at all, they probably shoud have done a few air strikes and then come home} Afganistan and Pakistan but it may be too late. I know all countries are corrupt at the top and I hope that Wiki Leaks pick them all off one by one and find what lobbyists are in bed with which Politicians, no matter what country they come from and what underhanded tactics and coverups they employ. If Wiki Leaks goes down, another will take it,s place.The public have the right to know what kind of people and agencies are supposedly defending them, looking out for them and there best interests and how they go about accomplishing it, and they will, the genie is already out of the bottle.
