we do not hold our members of government to account. that is the source of most of our problems currently. most people throughout the world are not stupid. they see our hypocrisy. we are meddling in the affairs of people all over the world, and we refuse to put our own house in order. if we set about to rid our government of corruption the example we would be setting, would be something to which others could aspire. as it is our corruption becomes a justification for others to remain corrupt.
