The US Government: has military bases (violating the soveriegnty of other nations, making them our vassals), tortures and holds indefinitely for no apparent reason its own and others' citizens at Camp X-Ray. Has international institutions (IMF, WTO, World Bank, USAID) that work to harm the poor and prop up regimes that torture and murder their own citizens. Arrests people for showing up to a Bush rally wearing an antiwar t-shirt but protects pornography as "free speech". The last two elections were stolen.
WE have become the evil empire. Is it a situation of power corrupts? Are all countries THIS evil? Its happening here, people. Our democracy is whithering away and dying before our very eyes! Does it happen everywhere? Is there some kind of cycle where countries get hijacked by evil people and then everyone rises up to fight them and then the scum slowly rises to the top to begin the cycle anew?
