Civil Offense, or Just 'Cause

It's silly to pretend that America isn't an aggressor nation. We're precocious at it, a case of early onset adventurism. Where do we get off deciding every other country in the western hemisphere cedes their self determination to us?

Which we did and now our moral authority is gone. Since the end of the cold war our power and presumption burgeon and bristle, out of sync with our moral and ethical development, but we're too drunk on consumer goods to care.

We're a hideous, mutant, belching baby throwing tantrums and screaming for more, and now it's not only the western hemisphere but the world we have in sight. The world will suffer for it, even more than they have already.
