127. It also boggles the mind
that so many overlook the injustices of America's favorite allies and trading partners.

The vicious military dictatorship in Burma, the torture chambers of Equatorial Guinea, the mass executions in China,
roving paramilitary death squads in Columbia, public whippings of women in Saudi Arabia for the crime of driving a car...

But who cares? American corporations make money in these abusive countries, so they are never mentioned in our Wall Street-controlled media.

As long as the brutal, anti-democratic crooks who rule over these countries don't impinge on American financial
investments, it seems they are free to torture and kill without a peep of criticism.

Personally I'd rather live in Caracas than Riyadh.
