And the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent installation of another dictatorship will haunt us in the near future, just as the installation of our puppet dictatorship in Afghanistan will. The US only duty to the world is to show the rest of the world how a constitutional republic is supposed to work. In THAT regard, the US has fallen woefully short. PEACE Steven R.
