Quote:Redefine "national interest" to be "powerful interests that are moneyed and occasionally react to public pressure".

No need;I said "perceived national interest" I did not say WHOSE perception,because I really don't know. The great unwashed are too ignorant or too stupid to grasp what is their best interest even at the micro level.


George Carlin expressed my views on realpolitik,albeit in a simplistic way.
