... with a rather small nation of only 280mio. people called the USA,
compared to the rest of that continent. But that's exactly the problem:
The US are one among others. Seems hard for them to acknowledge that.

... while the US has made deals with the Ayatollahs in Iran, then
supported Saddam Hussein against them, financed bin Laden's guerilla in
Afganistan, dealt with all Juntas and corrupt regimes in middle and south
America, Africa, Asia, even sent agents to kill politicians in other
countries, what is nowadays called state-terrorism, and so on. Now,
please don't claim to be the noble nation, the leader of morality. Had
the current US regime be in charge 1940, it wouldn't have gone against
Nazi Germany, but made deals with them, simply because there were no
resources to win, only products to buy.
