1) US foreign policy is a powerful thing.
2) Everybody can not run US foreign policy.
3) Those who do run US foreign policy can not be anything other

"Power elite" has an antiquated almost humorous smell about it, like
"horse-less carriage" or "Imperialist" or "luminiferous ether" or "running

All atrocities should be condemned but to do it by saying my holocaust
is worse than your holocaust shows a moral tone deafness that is
staggering to contemplate.
