American leaders stake out political positions for various reasons. W might want to take
out Saddam because his father didn't. Or, W may
want to take out Saddam for economic reasons: he wants to control Middle Eastern oil.

But neither W nor past presidents start wars or harm people because they are good people
who want to perform virtuous deeds for neglected
and poverty stricken people. W and other presidents act always from self-interest.

For instance, in the past, the United States often condemned apartheid in South Africa.
Yet, US capitalism supported racism, segregation and violence against blacks in South Africa.

Last night I heard on the news that American companies will be sued for the role they played in the
subjugation of South Africa's blacks during apartheid. Have you you heard about these lawsuits?
