It's all about money. And if you don't think so, why do you think the rich guys running our country set up and support all these dictators in the first place? I went to school with these guys. Don't think for a moment that they see you as anything more than tools for their ends and fodder for their profits.
G-Dog and Mike, I appreciate the position you are in but don't blind yourself with rhetoric. When it doesn't make sense look for the money...
