Some people are used as foils by the inner sanctum of the political hardshitters, like the US presidents and their semi-official friendly cronies. These foils, these guys and dolls, are called advisors. More often than not, the Powermen (they are mostly men or women with balls, like Thatcher) don’t listen to them.
godotIt is somewhat useless to make comparisons between leaders of whatever human endeavours, through out history, unless you an angry ignoramus. Hitler was seeking revenge. The US leaders since Truman have sought “CONTROL” of the planet. This is why Joe Biden-the-Ditherer beat Bernie Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii for the top job.
Have you ever wondered why Blair Howard and Bush have ALL written their autobiography ?. One could suspect a collusion. And there is. It is a well orchestrated way to frame the debate about the Iraq war in a sea of other titillating subjects including the foetus of George W Bush s unborn sibling his mother kept in a pickle jar or the sexual celebration of Blair s political victory, with Cherie. Like in a well tuned orchestra, Blair, Howard and Bush, all play an Iraq tune, with counterpoints and slightly different notes BUT IN HARMONY. The theme tune of the song is that Saddam deserved to be taken out and the WORLD IS BETTER FOR IT.
