So long as the taxpayers don't get angry at what their country is doing or how inadequate a program is or how illegal, (etc), the national interest is intact. As soon as citizens discover that peace is breaking out in the world and that Elf Quaida is a product of our overseas adventures during the cold war, things will change. Once people learn about the Tuskegee experiment, the nuking of 195,000 U.S. Military during 1946 - 1963 and Operation Northwoods and the CIA experimenting on unwitting subjects with LSD, the Gehlen intelligence connection, the repealing of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, and probably recent details on that, they will be angry that we were running all sorts of illegal stuff and completely NOT CARING about the consequences we could expect when the world got tired of us. This might sound rehearsed, but it's accumulated. We really have a lot to learn and we have to stop trusting our government and our repreHENSITIVES to look out for us. We have to get representatives who will support us or understand why we lose. DID YOU READ THIS RECENT STORY? It's not new, only recently re-published...
