Oh yes, my parents were ever so grateful to your country when the Wall you had done nothing to prevent in 1961 was torn down in 1989, so that we could at last visit the *graves* of their aunts and uncles who were never allowed to meet us again while alive, after one of the family had "illegaly" found her way into the Golden West on her own...

The land is rapidly sliding into the same Medieval Islamist mire like Iran in 1977, when there was none of the "brave and free" at hand to defend the rightful government from the Ayatollah's mod.

The desire to see others kneel before you and mumble "Yes, Massa! You're right, Massa! You're a good American Massa!" seems deeply ingrained in your soul, and now that you don't get that anymore from those who now *rule* your country rather than *let themselves be ruled*, you're trying it elsewhere. And I hope you will do that in future, that is, with someone else than me.

There a saying (by Eugene V. Debs?) that goes: "If you know what you 
want and you know how to get it then you don't need leaders." This would 
mean that voters in any country either don't know what they want, or 
they do but don't know how to get it.
