"Simply because bureaucracies are self-serving entities that are not responsible to anyone who really cares."
Thanks Ron, good essay. This is what I've been responding to numerous issues with, since it's clear that no one is in charge, and Americans are the paying patsies. Opportunists, meanwhile, loot the treasury, make business and political deals, regardless of the death toll involved. Conspiracy theories abound, some of which are no doubt true, since this gov't is a playground operating under cover of "national security" which is exactly the opposite.
"Republican and Democratic heads should roll, and the bigger the heads, the better. Not because of the failure to properly respond to a single briefing, but because of our disastrous 100-year-old foreign policy and because a government that cannot protect us--and often prevents us from protecting ourselves--insists on pointlessly meddling into obscure disputes in far corners of the globe and making unnecessary enemies in conflicts in which average Americans haven’t the slightest interest.
"Institutions should roll, too, because the modern state, by its very nature, is incompetent, self-serving, mendacious, unresponsive, irresponsible, provocative, bellicose, and deadly. Above all, it is unaccountable."
