Yes, but in so many ways we have all been caught up in the sides and parties. There is essentially little distance between them. There have been processions of mediocre and harmful governments in the US and elsewhere. The 'common' enemies imo for all humankind are neocons and big corporations. They are rich enough to manipulate markets over long periods of time relatively speaking, and much of what governments do is at their behest and for THEIR good, not that of humankind in general. Hence, we have met the enemy . . . .
