Excerpt:

	...The intercepts depict a regime increasingly corrupt,
     alienated from the country's religious rank and file, and so 
     weakened and frightened that it has brokered its future by
     channelling hundreds of millions of dollars in what amounts 
     to protection money to fundamentalist groups that wish to 
     overthrow it.

Wow!  This sounds *just* like the USG!

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and 
elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire
populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate...
This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States
as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers,
associates, or others.  Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of
those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the
first place...
