yes - Id say hes bang on.

especially on the unstated questions in the US media.

3years ago, I came back from a trip to Europe where all the news talked about the EU and the 10 new countries that just joined and the election that was to be held. There was barely a mention in the Canadian and US news - but plenty of gossip on Brangelina and other celebrities.
(the reason I watch the news is so that I know who the celebrities are)

the list goes on .. the US takes a dim view of any country harboring terrorists (but of course the US harbours Luis Posada Cariles who bombed a Cuban airliner and killed 73 people) Jeb Bush specifically requested that Posada be pardoned so that it doesnt look hypocritical for the US to try criticize other countries that may harbour terrorists).

theres also the US terror campaign on Cuba, and Nicaragua
they freely admitted to mining Nicaragua harbours - which is why they dont believe in a world court because then theyd be responsible.

the 'godfather' state punishes those that are defiant.
