November 22, 2010"Average people must look at the screens and see the disconnect—it's not left vs. right, it's top-down. It's establishment vs. people."

In the wake of that decision, discussion of the consequences of United States intervention around the world becomes even more important. It's not only wars that produce blowback for the US; training and funding for right-leaning groups in Latin America has been a long-standing source of resentment and anger around the world.
