This book from a highly respected man has been around for years and spells things out. Essentially the US policies seem unchanged. There are also plenty of other writings on this subject.

Good old Naom. One of the world's great thinkers, along with Gore Vidal... if you get a chance read some of his stuff on the US system.

I guess we have to remember that the US was settled by religious zealots and that righteous, pious attitude has permeated their psyche. Funny thing is that the words on their currency, 'In God We Trust', is the same Old Testament god that many other religions / peoples pray to.

Once again, it is the 'lesser of two evils' thing rearing its ugly head. Better the Yanks than the Saudis, for example, running the show. Some of the atrocities perpetrated upon its own peoples by the Russians, Chinese, some African/South American/Middle Eastern states... and so on, is an abomination and the lesser of two evils when compared to the lies and manipulations of US regimes.

Better a few corrupt cops keeping the streets safe for us all than letting the street gangs run the show.
