Eric, we (including you) are so irrelevant to these people that it can't be
described. If they cared about keeping you safe, they wouldn't have
invaded Iraq and wouldn't even be considering invading Iran. This country
is an afterthought. You saw it yourself in the Forbes quotes. The ADM
thing I posted sounds like a conspiracy, but ultimately it's like Donald
Trump's tag line for The Apprentice: It's nothing personal. It's just
business. They're just doing business at the top of the world. The U.S.
as a nation exists for the corporations and that's all.
