Long time no annoy Wes... but I'm going to star right away :-)

What moral authority did the US have? Certainly not to the countries
whose resources we wanted.. nor to Iran, nor to Chile or Costa Rica or
even our own colony of Hawaii.. I do believe the list goes on. I do know
we managed to delude some countries into thinking we actually might be
moral but we let them down every time.


As far as Lantos...what a disaster... but he only reflects the disaster
Pelosi is and bigger yet the tragedy that there are still those that
think a solution may exist in any but a few of the democratic leader
ship. They are for the most part capitalist predators, the degree just
varies.
