There’s a difference? Their leaders, the Castros, the Chavezes, Achemdinajads, they hate our freedom.

Maybe, but what I see mostly is hypocrites hating on more successful hypocrites for talking up the merits of democracy while playing one set of dictators off another. I also see populations under control of said useful dictators waking up to the power of their own potential for self determination.

They hate the fact that gays and Jews and women have rights.

So do many of our own Christian Republicans, who work to re define marriage and rape laws, who pretend to love Jews while painting Israel into an apocalyptic fundamentalist corner at every opportunity.

Absolutely they do. And they’re the ones who also hate that we have our hand in everything. Who else would give them aid and try to help them.

Our aid is largely designed to keep the oil flowing, to power and lubricate the machine of modern commerce. Altruism is a far distant motivation.

Who else would pull their babies out of dumpsters (China) and find a family to love them.

The same people who let domestic orphanages overflow with unwanted minorities while opposing legal abortion tooth and nail.

Ack. I get pissy about this, maybe you can tell.

Yep. That’s okay, so do I.

They’re governments have supporters, for sure.

Namely our own largest corporations.
