The uncomfortable fact is, as awful as ISIS is, as much as they need to be stopped, without the modern United States, ISIS simply wouldn't exist.

I agree the politics of the US are putrid, corruption at all levels dressed up as lobbying, Capitalism run riot. A country where dog eats dog and fcuk everyone else. A Country where nobody really gives a sh it about anyone.

But the worst part is at the top where you would expect to see honestly and integrity but there is none, just individual greed and self interest.

Appeasing the Multi National Corporations by allowing the most ridulous laws to be passed, laws that allow human faeces to be present in their food, their water to be contaminated, most of the population to be fed pills like smarties.

But more worrying is that the US to try and stay ahead of the game and keep the mirage of world Hegemony alive, have to start War after War and destabilise Country after Country in the name of bringing "democracy" to Countries that he lived peacefully for thousands of years.

Sometime the sheer arrogance of the US takes my breath away...!!!!

So, Yes the US now is but a shadow of it's former self, Capitalism,Big Business and individual greed is destroying this once great Country from within.

Painful to watch....
