Allan, If I can buy in? >From a Down Under perspective, we would see US politics, The Military and the Intelligence Services as all being puppets of the small number of people who command the money in the US and a number of other countries. If there was a will to have "Government of the people, by the people" voting would be compulsory. I understand that only around a third vote in most elections in the US. That means that the one who is hell bent on taking you, us and many others into a war on behalf of the US oil interests, was supported by something around a sixth of those of voting age. Four sixths can only blame them selves as they did not choose to vote.
