So I guess US foreign policy efforts should always hinge on the ability to make everything go your own way. You would think that the lessons of the last 50 years would have sunk in somewhere. So, it doesn't matter that this dictator was a fruitcake (although his Amazons were entertaining). It doesn't matter that he has been caught red-handed financing pre-9/11 terrorism. It doesn't matter that he oppressed his country for 40+ years. All that matters is: What's in it for us right now? I know, I know . . . it is naive for my to think otherwise . . .
btw I AM a US citizen. But I am a Canadian citizen as well & I like to think that straddling the border gives me a unique perspective into both country's mentalities.
