I’m sorry, not my country. I meant DC. DC is an open oozing sore of a place. It’s pathetic with respect to the absolute lack of sacrifice on the part of 99% of the dissent with respect to Iraq and strategy to try and stop consolidation of Islamic Caliphate centered fundamentalism.
Also it’s sad we have all these resources and we can’t entice the greatest minds into public service. Did you see the guy we have as ambassador to Iraq. Nice enough but classic civil service. I am sure China entices it’s best minds and, more ominously, the best minds outside it’s borders (as the USA did when it developed in secret the nuclear bomb) to run it’s country.
We are going to get killed one day, economically or militarily, but it’ll be like a bolt from the blue.
