Okay, Jan is just about the only one who has addressed the specifics. But those are the specifics of only one of many, many different scenarios!
When are you all going to WAKE UP!!?
Put down the glossy textbooks, and your 2/$9.95 plastic flags and look into these things for yourself. I'm talking about specific situations in which US business and/or military interests have won out and the average person suffers--we're talking about thousands upon thousands of humans in country after country: Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan...the list goes on and on!
And Puh-lease! Stop acting like the cult you usually attack and deal with the issues instead of cutting down the messenger!
From what I've read, very few of you have any idea whatsoever of what you yammer on about! Sheesh...
