The tenor of David's posts on this thread reminded me of parts of the John Pilger Interviews in his epic 'War on Democracy' with one Duane Claridge. Claridge you may recall was the CIA man-on-the-spot overseeing US operations at the time of Iran-Contra and other none-to-subtle US sponsored slaughter elswhere in Central and South America . He has lately taken to making a fool of himself in the media but his 'My Country right or wrong - and stuff you' attitude is all too typical of a certain US view of it's place in the world.
This video is a taster. It starts with a small part of the Claridge interview and continues with the ordeal of Sister Dianna Ortiz which I defy anyone to watch without feeling anger and contempt for the REAL US agenda.
The entire 8 parts of 'War on Democracy' - easily accessible though the above link - are well worth watching, as is all of John Pilger's stuff. Worthy candidates for the DPF YouTube channel too.
