it. It appears, the world takes if for granted that the U.S.A, aka as the world's police-force, has a carte blanch on everything, everywhere, and any time. Americans themselves seemingly enjoy this power position by philosophizing about other nations' rights (or the lack of them), such as Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis, Turks, Armenians, Russians, the Chinese, Koreans, etc., as if these nations are a part of a fancy video game to entertain people, where clicks, fast turns, bombs and bullets can "resolve conflicts". Americans have been in Germany, Korea, or Turkey because of their military service, seldomly to visit, or as tourists. Other countries, in the minds of many Americans, are military targets, to be "visited" in uniform; therefore foreign casualties are just that. Desensitized Americans eat meals while watching the daily propaganda on tv, also known as "news", in which shredded bodies are displayed to viewers, after a pro-forma alert of graphic images. If it is true that what goes around comes around, the boomerang effect is certain.



America's blood-soaked scepter continues to hit the heads of defenseless nations as pleased, killing millions of people like ants on the ground, aimlessly. I read somewhere a very impressive political slogan: "Regime change starts at home". And when precisely will this process begin ? It will begin when the next recession hits our lives, to be followed by the next Great Depression. When people have no food on their table, they tend to desire changes. My prescription is not to wait that long, as it will be too late probably. Metastasized tumors are much harder to remove.
