Did anyone stop to think that it is the oil rich nations themselves that fail to “redistribute the wealth” so that so many are so desparate there? Isn’t that what the United States was trying to do in Iraq with “nation building”.
I never understood why Chicago has been such as hotbed of Anti-American thinking, stretching back to the 1960s. Was it the schools? The popular print and broadcast Media there? The WFMT/Studs Terkel, etc. crowd?
Simple, Chicago is a locus for organized crime supported by Marxist politics.
