Snowden, Morales and American Gangster Foreign Policy
http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2013/07/05
Bolivia wants to throw out the American Embassy, and a lot of South America could join them.
Our knee-jerk reactions to perceived wrongs or our perceived privilege get us into trouble every. damn. time.
Snowden broke the law by exposing law-breaking. We don't have a national security apparatus to keep our nation safe. We have spy agencies running around trying to keep secrets about how embarrassing and criminal our empire is.
Which, of course, leads us to force landing the presidential jet of another sovereign nation because we're trying to clean up our own filth. This isn't just international criminality, this would (maybe should) be considered an act of war.
We have become the pariah of the modern world.
