This is exactly the sort of logical and direct analysis most in the US don't get with their nightly news - and who are therefore are usually only fractionally informed about important issues. God forbid we should have to use our brains to think with instead of depending on soundbytes, foreign policy cliches, and the required-pro-American spin for our "news"... and god forbid we should refuse to settle for having our limited attention spans pandered to! The longer we accept being uninformed, partially informed, and ill-informed, the more our leadership will feel free to bumble along without thought of accountability or consequences... despite the fact that consequences are piling up... whether we have the wits to acknowledge it or not.
