you got it here, it is nobody's business but the people in question,
I wish the U.S foreign policy makers understood this.

I wish this was right, but I studied so many government documents (from
the libraries of Purdue Univ, Univ of Michigan (2nd hand) )
and I am pretty sure of the following things:
1) The president of the U.S the most ignorant person in the government
about foreign policy, his advisors know a lot, but have very biased
opinions and lack honesty.. besides the CIA pretty much directs the
government into any pollicy it wants by providing the "needed" information.
2) The CIA director is an honorary post, he might influence decisions but
the whole mechanism of the CIA is independent of who is directing the CIA.
3)There is a great deal of corruption in the CIA (its agents can get involved
in drug dealing and Mafia and it becomes very hard to distinguish between
things that are done for the U>S interest or things that benefit its agents,
examples that come to mind are Nicaragua, Columbia, Panama, Salvador, Lebanon,
Egypt, Tunisia, etc..)
4)Still the U.S relies on information that comes from those centers to make
foreign policy decision..

Not all military action is terrorist, when you are facing a heavily armed
military/Police state (Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Afghanistan in 78) which
kills the opposition and torture and terrorise the families of any
suspected opposition member, you have no choice but to defend yourself..
Still,..
Political work in Poland defeated the K.G.B, it just has to be organized,
and the people must be involved in it and ready to sacrifice, because on
the long run, they will benefit.

Maybe 1 in 8 people in Tunisia is an overcoat on the other seven, thanks to
instructions of the CIA and the Mossad. After all in the Arab world only
brutal ruthless dictators survive for so long (Gaddafi, Assad, Saddam, etc)

The world is a great place to live when I am at home, my back is to the
window, and I do not switch the T.V on.. :-)
What I am saying in the .Sig is another way of saying "Entropy is always
increasing" or in less scientific terms: "Bad things just happen, good things
happen only when you work hard to make them happen"
