should be required reading for all Americans If you've ever wondered how our government can promote "democracy" so vehemently in one place (Iraq) but embrace a totalitarian regime in another (Saudi Arabia) or have wondered how we can be friends with two countries who seem to be enemies (both Israel and Saudi Arabia for instance), if you've ever wondered why we really invaded Panama, or wondered why the mainstream media has ignored the parallels between the Iraq invasion and the Panama invasion, well this book fills in all the gaps. This is one of the best books I've ever read, as far as "connecting the dots" -- the dots which seem to sometimes contradict one another. This book is as frightening as it is revealing -- it shines the light on who truly runs the United States and its empire, and shows, sadly, how futile any sort of political "opposition" in this country really is. You will learn why it is nearly impossible to oppose the empire, why it is so dangerous, and why so many have failed to do so. You will learn why third world countries just can't seem to get their acts together, even with massive "help" from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. You will learn how and why large international companies are taking over the planet I cannot recommend it highly enough. It should be required reading of every high schooler America, and possibly in the world. You will realize how silly the political discourse in this country is, what a deliberate distraction it all is, created by the corporotocracy, to keep us at each others' throats so that we will not recognize, or fight, the true rulers of this nation. This book is an epiphany.
