The United States is a very insular society. Most people know very little about the outside world and don't care that much. They're concerned with their own affairs.

Control is the source of strategic power.

I admire Ralph Nader and Denis Kucinich very much, and insofar as they bring up issues and carry out an educational and organisational function - that's important, and fine, and I support it.

I don't see much use in general slogans. Sometimes it is worth resisting evil with lesser evil, very commonly in fact.

In general, the attitude towards Nazi Germany was not that hostile, especially if you look at the U.S. State Department reports. In 1937 the State Department was describing Adolf Hitler as a "moderate" who was holding off the forces of the right and the left.

Ronald Reagan in the US was not a particularly popular president, but after his death sectors of wealth and power created a huge propaganda campaign that converted this disgraceful figure into a semi-divinity.

I had no expectations about Barack Obama and I'm not in the least disillusioned.
