Reply #31: I don't think he's aiming this at all Americans

[evermind]

Just the ones who soporifically go along with the US foreign policy agenda.

In saying that a degree of sleepiness, induced by sweet-sounding phrases like "the American people", "keeping the world safe for democracy" and so on, has been an ingredient in the ability of the US to pursue its piratical foreign policy over the last 50-60 years, I don't think he's far wrong. If the majority of Americans were aware in a concrete way of the actual behaviour of their government, things might have a chance to improve. Let's face it: most of them are laying back on those oh-so-comfortable cushions...

I think he's right on the money.
